Today’s card features another example of the Copic Marker Galaxy background I shared earlier this month. Click the banner below to check out that post which includes a step by step tutorial you can try out yourself! If you do, please do share a link to your own colouring in the comments section or tag me over on Instagram (@markergeek) I’d love to see.
Thank you to those who have tried it out and shared so far, I’m so happy that you found the video useful!
The Card:
I’m not just geeky about markers so yes, I know that technically this galaxy wouldn’t be the standard habitat for little Baby Cthulhu (one of my very favourite stamps). I have however silenced my inner anal retentive geek girl, because he looks adorable floating in space and I had some practice galaxy scraps that were just too pretty not to use up. 😉
Here’s the reason this is one of my favourite stamps. 😉
If you like supernatural horror and have yet to test the Lovecraftian waters, jump in and grab a copy of the Necronomicon *. Watch out though, there might be something a little less adorable than Baby Cthulhu lurking. 😉 The plushie is a Squishable Cthulhu *. I must confess I’m a teeny bit addicted to Squishable soft toys, one of my favourite Christmas gifts last year was a Squishable Hedgehog * (he’s kind of huge and totally huggable). Growing up is totally optional, people!
Stamp & Other Details:
The stamp featured on my card is Stampotique Originals Baby Cthulhu. I love him so much that he has the honour (along with the rest of my Stampotique collection) of being one of the very few wood mounted stamps I still own!
UK readers: I buy my Stampotique Originals stamps from Art From The Heart here in the UK, at the time of writing this post Baby Cthulhu is still in stock. I can recommend the service from AFTH, having been a happy customer for quite some time!
I die cut the image and mat layer using Lawn Fawn Large Stitched Circles dies. I used Versamark ink and Ranger Liquid Platinum embossing powder to emboss the stamped sentiment from Mama Elephant – Starry Night (I curved the sentiment when placing it on my acrylic block – great way to get more from your clear sentiment stamps) and to heat emboss the larger circle to create a coordinating mat.
The bright stars on this galaxy were created with a Uni-Ball White Signo Pen UM-153*. This is my favourite white pen for adding small details.
I create my own card blanks using a Fiskars High Precision Personal Paper Trimmer *, a Martha Stewart Scoring Board * and bone folder * (I don’t like the plastic scoring tools, I use a bone folder and have had mine for several years).
