July 2012 Waltzingmouse Stamps Blog Party



This is my first blog party with Waltzingmouse Stamps. The theme is 'The Great Outdoors'. I immediately thought of star gazing on a clear Summer's night & I ended up very far outdoors indeed! Outside the atmosphere rocketing through space. I used the sketch on the blog page only to realise it was last weeks, oops. 


My background paper was inspired by Moxie Fab World's Tuesday Trigger. The lines going in different directions, the colours & the triangle shapes like my fours. I think the colours have an Olympic Parrot feel as well, which ties in with Crafts 4 Eternity Recipe Challenge. I've also added sparkle to my rocket's exhaust plume, Stickles to the rocket's lights & glittery silver gel pen to accent the rocket's antenna & trim.



Hope you enjoy all the inspiration as you hop to the beat of the Waltzingmouse Blog Party :)
