Galaxy Background with So Suzy Stamps

Hi Everybody,

I am playing again with my new release stamps from So Suzy Stamps. I just can't get my fingers off those wonderful new stamps...

And since Valentin's Day is coming soon, I wanted to make a suitable card. But this one is a bit different from the usual hearts and pink that you generally see. I wanted to make a galaxy background.


I used distress inks - oxides and regular ones for the card. I did get carried away and forgot to take pictures in the process.... but don't worry - there is a myriad of YouTube videos out there you can watch instead.... I also drew some planets onto my background. Once it dried thoroughly, I heat embossed the sentiment and stars.

The wonderful sentiment you can find HERE, the star swirl you can get HERE

Matted it onto turquoise paper.


You may know this already, but just in case you don't.... We have a new feature here at So Suzy's. 
Every month one of our DT members has a birthday you get on stamp with every order free.
This is Tracy's and Suzy's birthday month and THOSE are their stamps:
We also have a sale going on at this month:


Happy Stamping!

Wow! Impressive and beautiful. Love that background and those swirly stars. Even love the planets so artfully arranged. Of course, the sentiment is perfect. I really have to try galaxy backgrounds...they scare me but if you don't try you'll never know, right!

What an awesome Galaxy card you made. Really like how you did the Planets, did you use daubers for them?

The backgrounds I can do, Cornelia, but the addition of the planets takes your card to a higher level. How did you do them?

Hi Everyone, I made a bunch of Easter cards, after all its little more than one month and I need to send them out in time... You see, they are all similar - using both the die cut and the negative, that I cut from a die cut egg. The cute bunnies got their yearly appearance - they are from Impression Obsession. the egg is by Lifestyle Crafts. The sentiment is by Papertrey.

Dynamic Duos combined with CAS Colours and Sketches

I am getting the hang of combining challenges....not sure if that's good or bad... In the past I would just put all my "creative energy" into one challenge and then just link up with others, if the card just happened to fit...but now I do that on purpose. Well, I'll see how it goes....                           Anyhow here is the card that came out of this: I did not want to add a sentiment - I 'll add it later, when I know who will get it.
