Hello friends!
Some designs are carefully planned, and others take a spontaneous turn. This card? A little of both! I was adding white splatter for that perfect starry sky effect when a streak landed just right. Instead of wiping it away, I leaned in — now it’s the rocket’s trail as it zooms past Earth! 🙌
I used the adorable new stamp set called “Shoot for the Moon” from the Simon Says Stamp “Happy Camper” release to create this out-of-this-world scene. It’s playful, bold, and perfect for a friend who’s chasing big dreams. 🌍✨
Design Highlights:
🚀 The cutest little space explorer ever — blasting off in style!
🌍 Earth is hand-colored with Copic markers for depth and glow
🎨 Accidental splatter became the rocket’s trail — happy crafting accident!
🖤 Deep indigo galaxy background with crisp contrast
🌟 Sentiment tucked right along the Earth’s curve for a finishing touch
This card was a blast to make (pun intended)! Sometimes the best designs come from the unexpected. 💫
Have a wonderfully creative day, everyone!
“Lean in” is the relatively new equivalent of one of my faves: sometimes it’s easier to ride the horse in the direction it’s going. LOL I really like your card! Good work using the string of white as exhause smoke.
