I love to combine challenges so when I saw the Waltzingmouse Fanatics Colour Challenge and the Retrosketches challenge, a rocket was launched! I wouldn't normally mix reds, peaches and black, but nature does so I gave it a go. I inked my background with Barn Door, Festive Berries, Antique Linen, Iced Spruce, Black Soot, Potter's Clay and London Fog hoping to achieve a nebulous sky. Over the red portion I masked and misted Starburst Background for the rocket's plume to echo the rays from the sketch. My rocket was coloured with red, peach, gray and beige Promarkers, black enamel, Wink of Stella and Stickles.
I've also taken A Blog Named Hero's Challenge to use 1 & 4: One Hero Arts stamp and 4 Waltzingmouse stamps. I hope you can see all the glittery bits on this card a little better than my last rocket photography attempt.
