Now on to my card. I used the WOW! Trio Cosmic 'Seth Apter' set to add texture on my galaxy background. These powders provide so much dimension to an otherwise flat surface.

I lay down the colors first on the cardstock. I used Distress Oxide Inks because they are not completely dry when applied and it allows the embossing powder to adhere to the surface. Next, one by one I sprinkle the embossing powders to certain spots on the surface. I tap off the excess and brush off any powders that I don't want. Lastly, I apply my heat gun and let the magic happen.

These cute images and sentiment are from KS Koala-Ty Time Stamp Set. The mother/baby and heart are both colored with Copic markers. The sentiment is stamped on black cardstock and embossed with WOW! EP - Opaque Bright White. 

To create the wavy stitching detail on the white cardstock, I used the KS Wonky Wavy Stitched Rectangle Dies. Then I used the KS Embossed Edge Circle Dies to cut the galaxy background and circle window. The white cardstock is adhered with foam dimensional tape, as well as the Koala and heart image. The circle galaxy is inlaid thru the window opening. To finish off the card, I wanted more sparkle, so I placed KS Silver Jewels on my background and on the bottom right of the card.

THANK YOU for joining me today and I hope you enjoyed my card. Have a fabulous hop!
