I began by die cutting a panel of Canson XL Mixed Media paper with the largest of the "Large Stitched Rectangle" dies. I used yellow Frog tape to mask off the border outside the stitching lines so I would have a white "frame" around my inked area.
To create my galaxy background, I first inked the panel with Picked Raspberry, Mermaid Lagoon, Seedless Preserves, Mustard Seed, & Lucky Clover. I hit that with my heat tool briefly, just so the inks wouldn't smear, and then blended Black Soot over the whole sky. To create a slew of stars, I spattered on some Champagne Gold & White Gold metallic watercolors.
After hitting the panel with my heat tool to dry the ink & watercolor splatters, I heat embossed several stars/constellations from "Super Star."
For the greeting, I die cut the letters to spell "stellar" with "Quinn's Capital ABCs." I used the coordinating stamps to stamp each letter onto the die cuts with Versafine Onyx Black ink. I stuck them to my panel with liquid glue. For the beginning of the greeting, I used one of the phrases from the "Out of this World" stamp set. I stamped it with Onyx Black onto a scrap of white cardstock, cut that into a label, & glued it above the "stellar" word.
I wanted some extra pops of color, so I stamped the rocket, 2 planets, and the flame from "Out of this World" onto a scrap of Strathmore Smooth Bristol paper. I colored them with my Tombow markers. I die cut all but the flame, which doesn't have a coordinating die. That, I just fussy cut. I glued the flame to the bottom of the rocket, and then glued my images to the background. Finally, I adhered the panel to a white card base.
