Out of This World with Clever Dexter

Hey Clever Dexter crafties! I'm wrapping up my month of designs today at Clever Dexter Challenge using that fun little astronaut and rocketship. You have to be a lunar-tic to not like these digital images from our amazing sponsor - La Casetta Di Chicca! Did you get the pun there LOL; a friend helped me with it :)




The trio of stencils I used along with the color combo (some I snagged directly from our optional color palette this month) made a crazy cool background! It kind of reminds me of the Matrix, just not in black and green :)



Don't forget the theme this month is: Use a Stencil

We want you to join us! Check out how to play along below and be sure to share in the gallery before August 31st. I can't wait to see what you create!

To the Moon with Clever Dexter

Is it me, or has there been a lot of space talk in the news lately? It's easy to see why we'd like to get away from our planet :) 

I'm guest designing again today at the Clever Dexter blog using another cool image from an amazing sponsor - La Casetta Di Chicca. I had a blast (pun intended LOL) making this card!


I thought it would be cool pop this little guy inside the rocket. Using some photo editing software to combine the images, our adventurous astronaut is waving to say hi!

The galaxy background is watercolored with some of my favorite super pigmented watercolors; the yellow stars are stenciled on and heat embossed; and the black stars and hints of galaxy flashes are stenciled in black. Check out all of my supplies below.


In case you didn't guess, the theme for the month is: Use a Stencil :)

Check out how to play along below and be sure to share in the gallery before August 31st.
