Blast off into creativity with this fun space-themed birthday card! Using the latest Simon Hurley create products, we’ll create a bold, shimmering background and an ink blended moon. Perfect for any space lover, this card is sure to make their day out of this world. Let’s get started!
Step 1: On a 4' x 5.25' panel, apply Midnight Snack Dye Ink through Polka Dot Assortment stencil 1.
Step 2: Shift Polka Dot Assortment Stencil 1 to fill in the empty spaces, and ink with Midnight Snack. The dots should match the pattern shown in the second image.
Step 3: Apply Silver Lining Astro Paste through Polka Dot Assortment Stencil 2, layering it over the dots from step 1. Set aside to dry.
Step 4: Trace a circle on a separate piece of cardstock using the circle stamping foam. Cut it out.
Step 5: Using tiny blending tool(s), Woof! and Shady Dye Ink, lightly blend the inks to create a 'moon'. Add darker spots to create 'craters'.
Step 6: On a separate piece of cardstock, stamp and emboss the astronaut with black embossing powder and clear embossing ink.
Step 7: Color in the astronaut with Midnight Snack, Traffic Cone, and Shady Dye Ink Pads. For best results, smudge the ink on a craft sheet, add a little bit of water, mix and paint with a paintbrush.
Step 8: On a separate piece of cardstock, stamp "Happy Birthday" and "I love you to the moon and back" sentiments with Jet Black Archival Ink.
Step 9: Fussy cut the astronaut and sentiment.
Step 10: Add a Midnight Snack Dye Ink mat to the sentiment and trim.
Step 11: Assemble the card: Use foam tape to adhere the moon to the panel, and the astronaut/sentiment to the moon. Add the completed panel to a card. Apply Stardust Stickles to the astronaut's helmet and gloves.
