Inside this card, for my son who is graduating college, it says: "The destiny lies not in the stars, but in ourselves. - Shakespeare". I thought it fit the card.

Hi ladies. T answer your questions, everything on the card is from Stampscapes (moon, clouds, trees). The moon image does have the face & craters in the moon as part of the image.
First, you must use a semi-gloss paper so the ink blends well.
Stamp overlapping clouds at the bottom. Stamp the moon. I think I used a milky way stamp too. Overstamp the trees on the clouds. Then there are 2 tricks to achieving the look: A lot of heavy sponging in black at the edges, navy in the middle and gradate the colors. A white gel pen to add extra highlights. Use a pencil eraser tip in white craft ink to "smudge" some stars and give a blurry halo effect.
