Galaxy Background with Color Bursts


Hi all, last month I shared this card with you using Ken Oliver Color Burst powder.  Whenever I do technique pieces like that I make a few so I can choose which one I like best for the project I am working on.


While I didn't feel the background featured on my card today looked nice with the Rose Background die, it looks great as a night sky!  This has a more spotty appearance, like a galaxy background.  To achieve this look, you'll want to use less water on your paper before sprinkling on the Color Burst.




I couldn't resist using this galaxy background along with the Wishing You stamps, Sentiments and dies and Starry Background die.  They all just work wonderfully together. 

I hope you'll play with this technique a bit.  Try using different amounts of water and powder to see which look appeals to you most.  Get creative on how you use those backgrounds too!
