Into orbit

Unusually for me, I can't think of anything much to say about this card - it didn't turn out on paper the way it looks in my mind's eye, so I'm feeling grumpy with it!


I sponged blue ink around the top of the card, and a little around the other edges, then very lightly spritzed the sponge with water and dabbed it here and there on the sponged area. Then I stamped the random dot pattern (a very old Anitas stamp) using a glue pad and scattered white glitter over it, and used the blue ink to stamp the sentiment. The sun and planet are cut using Dies R Us dies.

I am sharing this with

I think this is lovely, really eye catching with that sparkle from the glitter and the cheerful sun looks great! The background is fab too, with the lightly mottled effect. Thanks so much for playing along with us at Less is More :)

Pretty sponged sky for your die cut sun and planet. Great idea to stamp your spots in a glue pad and add glitter for such a pretty glittery sky. TFS and joining us at CAS Mix UP, Jane.

I hope this finds you and yours doing well. May we display your header on our new site directory? As it is now, the site title (linked back to its home page) is listed, and we think displaying the header will attract more attention. In any event, we hope you will come by and see what is going on at SiteHoundSniffs.com.

Well it might not be how you intended Jane but it's bold, fun and eye-catching. Certainly meets our criteria at Less is More and thanks for playing along with us this week. Sarah

I think your sky looks great, lovely effect with the sponging and added sparkle. And a wonderful way of using our challenge colours this week.
