Hidden Galaxy Slider

July 10, 2018

Hi there,

it's Tanja here with another hidden slider card. My son was so excited about the hidden slider mechanism that he wanted to create a Galaxy card using this technique and what better stamp sets for this project than the Gerda Steiner Designs Blast off and Alien Invasion?

create a multi-layer Galaxy background using watercolor paper, the Lawn Fawn Puffy Cloud Borders and Kuretake Gansai Tambi watercolors
build the hidden slider mechanism as explained in the Happy Birthday Snail card blog post
stamp the astronaut, the space ship and the planet from the Gerda Steiner Designs Blast off and Alien Invasion sets
color the images with Delta, Touch Twin Brush and Copic Markers
add highlights with a white gel pen
cover the window of the space ship and the visor and the astronaut's helmet with Nuvo Crystal Glaze and let this dry thoroughly - I left it overnight

Thanks for stopping by today.

Hugs,

Also in Gerda Steiner Designs

Hi crafty friends, Noga here and I am so happy to share with you another project for Gerda Steiner Designs today.

My tag featuring the adorable Christmas Kitten 4x6 Clear Stamp Set.

How cute is this set??

To make this tag I took a piece of Bristol smooth cardstock and cut a tag die.

The background was created by blending spun sugar distress oxide ink,I spired some water onto it and soaked it up...
