Altenew | Galaxy Background with Altenew inks. Video

This post is also available in English

Happy New Year, everyone! I’m kicking off 2016 by sharing an easy way to create Galaxy Background using Altenew inks. I am a little late to the party, as this has been already previously shared many-many times using various mediums. However, I was curious to see if I would be able to make a galaxy background using my Altenew inks and I’m happy I gave this idea a try.

I used a few colors for my galaxy background, started with Warm Sunshine, Ocean Waves, Desert Night, Midnight Violet and Deep Iris. Although I almost did not use Depe Purple as it wasn’t giving me the color intensity I wanted. Altenew inks are dye inks and they happen to react nicely with water, this allows to create beautiful spots when adding drops of water over inked area.

For my sentiment I went with the Super Script 2 stamp set and heat embossed a simple Wish Upon A Star sentiment in gold. Because my panel warped slightly from water and heat embossing I decided I would trim it down and would also flatten it in my machine. I used my favorite Simon’s Stitched Rectangle die for that. To finish this project I adhered my piece onto a black A2 card base.

VIDEO TUTORIAL

I’m sharing a video tutorial today showing how easy it is to make a background like this one. You can watch it at the top of this post or on my Youtube channel. If you like it, I would appreciate you giving it a thumbs up and sharing. Thank you!
