Distress Oxide Galaxy Background


My good friend's husband sustained a pretty serious injury, that is going to require a long recovery, so I decided to brighten his day with this cute lil snail from the Unity Stamp Co's Happy Snail Mail. He's just darling and the sentiments are really cute.

After stamping him on my watercolor paper, I masked him off and started adding distress oxides. Picked Raspberry, Fossilized Amber, and Wilted Violet are the brights that are randomly applied to the background. Faded Jeans and Black Soot make up the night sky. Some water drops and white spray ink make up the stars. After the sky was done, I pulled out my Kuretake Gansai Tambi watercolors (because they are so nice a cheerfully vivid) and painted the stamped image.

Hope your day finds you with a spring in your step!

Happy creating
