Space Kitties ~ Preview Day 1 ~ The Greeting Farm

 Hello there crafty friend!

It's the first day of previews at The Greeting Farm for the May release! This month's release is fantastic!! It's filled with OHHHs and AHHHs! Be sure to check out The Greeting Farm blog each day this week!

I stamped all of the adorable images and the sentiment from the Space Kitties with Memento Tuxedo black ink and colored the images up with Copic Markers. I fussy cut them all on the line and colored the edges of the fussy cutting with a Memento Tuxedo Black marker. There was one exception with the ring around the green planet. I fussy cut a white border around the ring so the ring wouldn't get lost in the background.

Here's a quick list of the Copic markers I used:

White Kitty: C00, C2, C3, R00, R20

Orange Kitty: YR21, YR15, YR27, R00, R20

Gray Kitty: N0, N2, N4

Space Suits: C00, C2, C3, R20, R14, Y11, Y15, BG0000, BG10, BG01, N2, N4

Stars: Y11, Y15

Yellow / Pink Planet: Y11, Y15, RV10, RV04

Purple Planet: V000, V12, V15

Spaceship: Y11, Y15, YR15, R14, RV10, RV04, BG10, BG01, N0, N2, N4, C00, C2

Falling Star: Y11, Y15, YG21, YG23, RV10, RV04, BG10, BG01

Green Planet: YG21, YG23

I had a blast ink smooshing and blending a fun galaxy background for today's card. I started by ink smooshing Mustard Seed, Picked Raspberry, and Chipped Sapphire Distress Inks. I then blended Chipped Sapphire Distress Ink over the background with a blending brush. I covered most of the pink and yellow in the background so there were just a few 'bursts' of color. I blended around the edges and through the middle with Black Soot Distress Ink. 

Once the background was dry {or nearly dry... I'm an impatient cardmaker! LOL!}, I spattered the background with white acrylic paint that I thinned out with a spritz of water. I let the background dry overnight. When I came back to it the next day, I trimmed the galaxy background to 4 x 5-1/4" and adhered it to a black top fold card base measuring 4-1/4 x 11"; scored at 5-1/2". 

I played around a bit with placement for all the fun images and once I was happy with them, I adhered them to the card. I just love how this turned out! Release goes live in the store on the 15th at 12am EST.

Thanks so much for stopping by!

See ya next time.

Inky Hugs,

Crystal
