July Guest I-Teamer for Words 2 Craft By

I was honored to be asked by Sybrina to be the Guest I-Teamer for the July/August Words 2 Craft By after being chosen the winner of the May/June challenge here.

This month - the inspiration words commemorate the July 1969 Apollo 11 moon landing.

"We came in peace for all mankind.

 (lunar plaque inscription).

Here is the card these words inspired me to make.

I stamped the moon using To The Moon stamp and die set from Altenew - using 3 different shades of grey for the multi-stamp moon on white card - Limestone, Silver Stone and Industrial Diamond all by Altenew and then sponged over it with Ranger Distress Fossilized Amber, more on the edges and less toward the center.

I sponged the background panel with Ranger Distress Inks in Wilted Violet, Broken China, Blueprint Sketch.

I created the night cityscape using City Scene Stencil by Altenew - sponging it with Blueprint Sketch Ink, shifting the stencil over and down and sponging again with Black Soot.

I flicked water over the panel to make the splatter, glued on tiny star sequins and the Small Talk Sticker.  The moon is popped up on foam dots.

I was going to trim down the panel and adhere it to a black panel - but I didn't want to define the edges of the universe!  So I just adhered the 4 1/4" x 5 1/2" panel to a white card base.

Please join us this month at Words 2 Craft By and show us what these words inspire you to create!  You'll find all the details of the challenge here.
