I have been in a funk, with no interest in crafting (I know... shocking) for a few weeks now. So after packing up all my Christmas stamps and other crafty stuff, I pulled a few of my favorite stamp sets and placed them on my desk hoping they would bring my creativity out.
on Sunday, I sat down and started working on a couple of watercolor backgound panels and later added Cosmic Newton (from SSS) to one of the panels. The two astronaut Newtons are popped up on Action Wobbles.
I used my Prima Metallic Watercolor set for all the coloring. Since I wanted my background dark and pigmented, I didn't dilute the watercolors with water too much. I also went with an ombre kind of affect to mimic the trip into outer space. The cats are not as shimmery, because I diluted the watercolors with lots water.
It's hard to capture the shimmer in a photo.
Thanks for stopping bye to check out my Cosmic Newtons. Wish me luck, because I'm entering this card in the current Simon Says Wednesday Interactive Card theme Challenge.
The background is beautiful Mary!
