MFT Sketch Challenge 542 - All Systems Are Go for a Happy Birthday

This week's MFT Sketch Challenge is a layout with three circles vertically arranged on the left side of the panel. 

I recently took advantage of another great MFT sale and bought the Best Friends in the Universe stamp and die set.  I think the cute astronauts with their round helmets are perfect for the sketch without using circle cutouts.

Ink blending is definitely not my strong suit, but I always admire the beautiful galaxy backgrounds that I see other card makers create.  Using the few Distress Ink colors that I have on hand, I blended the inks, used a paintbrush to add metallic silver and white craft paint splatters, and attached some silver glitter card stock stars to it.

All of the images are colored with Copic markers, and I added clear Wink of Stella to the planets for a bit of shimmer.

Thanks for stopping by, and have a great day!
