FLY ME TO THE MOON


I made this for the Crazy Amigo challenge where the theme is "moon". It gave me the chance to try out one of my new moulds from The Stamp Bug - I use the Delight clay they supply too because it's extremely light and easy to use, and the white colour makes it perfect for painting. You can't quite see in the photo that the moon is 3D, although it's a shallow mould. I painted it with mica paints to get a shimmery appearance.

The background is done with Distress Inks and then I added Paper Artsy stamps, and Paper Whimsy images, not to mention that freebie grass stamp from Tanda that I find so amazingly useful! It still seemed to "need" something, so I added some detail with a silver pen.
