Simon Says Stamp - HAPPY CAMPER Release Blog Hop, Day 1

Hi Lovelies!

Welcome to Day 1 of Simon Says Stamp's Happy Camper Blog Hop! In spite of the campy theme, I surprised myself by creating my first "outer space" projects. Today's make focuses on make a fun Wall Decor piece for a kids room with the adorable "Out of the World" set.

Let's get inky and create a galaxy background shimmering with stars from my FAVORITE new release item - the Splatter Medium, and when the lights are off, it glows with stars from the Simple Simple Stars Stencil and Distress Glow Grit Paste!

PLEASE EXCUSE THE POOR PHOTO BUT MY CAMERA DOESN'T DO WELL IN THE DARK! :-)

CARD HIGHLIGHTS

CREATING THE 5 1/2" x 5 1/2" GALAXY BACKGROUND

1. Simple Stars Stencil and Distress Grit Glow Paste on Distress Watercolor Cardstock

TIP: Stencil a second layer of Grit Glow Paste stars over the first after it dries

2. Distress Spray Stain, Ranger Perfect Pearls Mixed with Water in Distress Sprayer

TIP: Soak up excess stain on stars with a Q-Tip.

3. Simon Says Stamp Splatter Medium Applied with Tim Holtz Splatter Brush

TIP: A little medium goes a long way so just dip the first quarter inch of the brush into the medium to soak it up into the "bristles".

TIPS:

• After laying out the die-cuts on the background, cover with Glad Press N Seal to hold in place and apply foam tape to "pop them up".
