I Love You to the Moon and Back

My husband and I recently celebrated our anniversary and this is the card I made for him. This was one of those very rare times where I had an idea in my head and it turned out just the way I hoped! Usually I get stuck somewhere along the way when making a card and have to think about how to finish it. :) 

The focal point is the very realistic moon from Altenew's To the Moon stamp set. I first cut out the moon from white card stock with the matching die cut, and then used Morning Frost, Evening Gray and Weathervane inks to stamp the three layers. The moon is popped up with foam tape. 

To create the starry background I stamped MFT's Paint Splatter Background with Versa Mark ink onto black card stock and then went over it with silver perfect pearls to make them shine. The border was die cut with Ink to Paper's Border Bling: Skinny Diagonal frames die. I actually cut it twice, once from black card stock and once from black fun foam which I adhered underneath to add dimension. The sentiment, which is also from To the Moon, was stamped in Versa Mark and then embossed with silver powder. 

Thanks for reading!
