Spinner Card - galaxy

This is a spinner card, the Earth rotates around the sun.

It was made for a 30th birthday, 

inspired by the words on the party invite of

celebrating 30 rotations around the sun.

Below: pictures of the home made "galaxy" paper -

my second attempt! 

The first try was used for a holiday card

that I'll share in December. 

Below are a couple of photos

from the first background in progress

and a very basic how-to. 

I randomly water colored assorted ink colors 

onto watercolor paper, being careful not to overlap.

I used dye refills, Stampin' Up! brand, and an aquapainter.

I then brushed on Night of Navy ink refill,

watered down a bit.

It dried a lot lighter than when I first applied the 

Night of Navy ink, so I added a little more.

I splattered white craft paint onto

it using an old toothbrush once it 

was completely dry

(not shown in this photo).

It was very messy and didn't turn out

quite as I had hoped. It was my first try,

so maybe if I make a few more

(or use different supplies) they'll be better.

Thanks for looking =)
