This is for the Ways to Use It Challenge. I've been wanting to make a galaxy BG. I sponged my colors, added water droplets and then white/water paint splatters. After that was dry I used Wink of Stella over the whole panel, which really adds to the starry effect. This is basically a stepped up version of my other card. I added more layers and images and the BG required more steps. (Side note: I used Black archival. It didn't really make the water marks, but the paint splatters compensated for that. Need Black Soot DI or a DO! )
I was trying to figure out who I would send this to and decided it will prob be my stamping buddy. She likes colored images and has a soft spot for DD glimmer paper. It was a good thing my husband took the kiddos for part of the weekend. I don't think I'll be making multiples of this one! Need to get back to my CAS ways!

Your starry/snowy night is Breath-taking! Wow! I'm so in awe of what you've done with this stamp set! I just sent in a really big order to SU on Monday. It was my turn to host this month since I'm in a club. I chose every host stamp set except this one and now I'm wishing I had after seeing all the lovely creations you've come up with using it~ Sigh

Eek, I was sure I'd commented on this. Sorry!! I did look at it, and waited till I got home from work but I was sure I'd come back. It's just beautiful, both your sky and the peaceful snowy scene. I was even going to say, yes, isn't it amazing how much of a difference Francine's last step of the entire coat of WoS makes. I can imagine the sparkle. Your friend will just love this.
