Mission Control - Always fun #177

Monday August 24, 2020

Hello.. I have a card to share for our new challenge over at
Always Fun Challenge #177

Our theme this week is IN THE SKY SCENE


This is my card.. OK I am learning a lot about Yupo paper.. I don't know if I like it or not.. Yes it's awesome for alcohol ink technique.. But you can't emboss on it and you can't use Oxide ink on it.. I created some alcohol ink papers few weeks ago and that was messy but fun.. Then I tried to emboss on it but it melted the obvious plastic coating on the paper.. so said ok that's fine. Then for this card I used Oxide black soot to give a night sky.. It really looked pretty. I then went and added some Perfect pearls splatters for stars.. I set it aside and then last night I went to create my card. I picked up the alcohol ink and white card base and went What The Heck!!  there were black smears all over the white card base. I looked at my hand and my fingers were pitch black.. Well a few hundred (it seemed like) diaper wipes later I got the black soot off. Sad cause it sure looked pretty. Also the Perfect pearls was gone too. Oh well. 
Ok for my card I used the alcohol ink background. I stamped the My favorite things images and using Shin Han water colors painted the astronaut . Then using Paul Ruben metallic water colors painted the other images. I heat embossed the sentiment. I used foam dots on all by the moon.
