Moon Men Galaxy Background with Nuvo Shimmer Powder

Hey you guys!! I've had the most amazing time last weekend at Creativation and I'm trying to get back into the swing of things here but of course I've gotten sick. No matter, I'll get through it but I wanted to pop in today to say hi and share a card I made quite some time ago and never shared. I love this Moon Men set from Reverse Confetti and the Tonic Nuvo shimmer powders make an amazing galaxy background to go with it. For this card I've used the shimmer powders in Storm Cloud (black) and Solar Flare (yellow/gold).

I used my shimmer powders to create the background and to paint shimmery details onto the moon. My galaxy background was created on the top part of my watercolor paper where I ripped it out of the spirals rings. I know it's an unconventional look but I like it and it allowed me not to waste even a scrap of my paper.

The Moon Men are colored with my Copic Markers as is the moon (the craters are painted with shimmer powder).

I heat embossed the star and constellation stamps randomly across the background in gold. The sentiment is heat embossed in white and popped up on foam adhesive. I added some gold foil on the right side of the background and then some circle and star embellishments in gold and called it good!

Moon Men! Love You to the Moon & Back!

Hi! I hope you all are having an amazing day. I'm just popping in to share another shimmery, sparkly card that I made with Tonic Nuvo Shimmer Powder and the adorable Moon Men stamp set from Reverse Confetti. 

#cardbomb, #simonsaysstamps, #reverseconfetti, #tonicstudiosusa, #nuvoshimmerpowder, #moonmen, #watercolor, #art, #outerspace, #copics, #color, #paper, #stamping, #ink, #card, #cardmaking, #videotutorial, #video,

I started by making the background using the black Nuvo Shimmer Powder (the color is called Storm Cloud). Then I used the yellow/gold powder (Solar Flare) to splatter the background so that it looked like outer space. I also splattered it with clean water and then blotted it with a paper towel so that I had some lighter spots that gave the background a little bit more depth. I cut the background out with a frame from Lawn Fawn so that it would have stitched detail on the edges.

I colored my moon man with my Copic markers and then heat embossed my sentiment in white onto black cardstock. I added both of those to the card front with foam adhesive so that they would pop off of the card.

I also colored the moon with Copics and adhered it to the card using foam tape. If you look closely at the moon you can see that the craters sparkle and shine. That's because I blinged them out by watercoloring some Solar Flare shimmer powder onto them. It looks really cool in real life.

I also added some clear epoxy embellishments to the background. I think they added to the galaxy look without being too over the top.

Tonic Studios Nuvo Shimmer Powder Video Tutorial

Hey everybody! Thanks for stopping by today. I am really excited to have you here because for the first time in forever I have a YouTube video for you. I actually filmed it months ago but summer got the best of me and today I finally had a chance to finish editing it. The video showcases Tonic Studios Nuvo Shimmer Powders and multiple ways to use them. 

The Nuvo Shimmer Powders are pigment powders that are mixed with mica so they have a ton of shimmer in them. I used the powders to create the galaxy background for this card. See the video at the bottom of this post for a tutorial.

The stamp set that I used is from Reverse Confetti, is called Moon Men, and I love it!

I colored the rocket ship and moon with my Copic markers. Then I used my Solar Flare Shimmer Powder to color the pits on the moon so that they would shimmer.

I heat embossed the sentiment (also from Moon Men) in white on black cardstock and popped it up on foam tape to give it dimension. I added some clear embellishments to the background (I colored some of them blue with my Copics) and that was it for this card.

Moon Men- You're Outta This World!

Hey Everybody! It's been a while since I've posted and I'm sorry for being a bit MIA. A lot has been going on in the last couple of weeks. I've been trying to knock things off of my "to-do" list and I've been running around like a chicken with my head cut-off. The end of "things to do" isn't really in sight but I'm so glad to have the time to say hi to you guys today. I have been crafting but haven't had time to photograph and blog much so I'm sorry I haven't been sharing here. 

Anyhow, on to today's card because I'm sure that's why you are here... And, I absolutely LOVE what you can do with the Nuvo Shimmer Powders that I used on this card! It was my first time using them and they are easy to use and you can get such a variety of gorgeous effects with them (video coming soon!). The shimmer powders made the perfect, magical background for the astronaut and planets from Reverse Confetti's Moon Men stamp set. I'll put a link to the Nuvo Shimmer Powders at the bottom of my post in case you'd like to pick them up for yourself.

Here's a close up of the background. I started with a piece of watercolor paper and used just three colors of shimmer powder to create this background. I started out by tapping out some of the powder onto the dry paper and then I spritzed it until I saw the powder activating. Depending on how much water is on your paper you can tilt it back and forth to mix the colors, or, you can use a paint brush to drag them around to where you want them.

I colored my Moon Man and the planets with Copic Markers. I wish I could remember what colors I used... but I made this a few weeks ago and didn't make note of what I colored with before cleaning up my desk.

If you look closely at the purple planet you can see that I also added a little bit of the black shimmer powder to add some shading. It looks cool in real life bc it glitters when you move it. I heat embossed my sentiment in white added it to the card with foam adhesive.

I used some awesome Crystal Clear Confetti sequins by Studio Katia to finish off the card. These sequins have a gorgeous iridescent look and have no hole in the middle which I love! It makes them so easy to adhere as you don't have to worry about glue seeping out the hole in the center.

Before I go I'm going to enter this card into a couple of fun challenges
-Reverse Confetti: Stock Your Stash Challenge- Hello, Just Because
-Simon Says Stamp Monday Challenge: All Things Bright and Beautiful
-Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge: Wedding/Anniversary (I would totally give this to my husband for our anniversary)

That's it for today you guys! I'm so glad to be back here. I hope you all have an amazing day today and I will be back soon (really, I promise, lol!)!
