Welcome! Today I have a starry card and a fun stepped out background to share. I started with glossy cardstock and three colors of Copic Various Inks (reinkers)--B23, B28, and G07.
I randomly dripped reinkers on my glossy cardstock, moving the ink around and dabbing it with a scrap of bubble wrap. Next I spritzed with Copic colorless blender to get more texture. (Also, any time I'm not in love with a reinker-on-glossy-cardstock background, spritzing colorless blender is usually the solution! I usually buy it in the large bottles since the large bottles are much more economical than the smaller bottles.)
While I still had some wet ink, I lightly sprinkled a few bits of Nuvo Silver Bullion Gilding Flakes, thinking that they would probably stick to a few areas, and they did! It's looking a little like deep space to me now.
Finally, I die-cut the word "Stars" from silver sparkle cardstock, cutting two extra layers from heavy white cardstock to glue to the back for added stability. I heat embossed "When it's dark, look for the" in detail silver embossing powder on black cardstock and split it so that I could pull it down into the loop of the "r" in stars (from the MFT Stamps Written in the Stars stamp set). Finally, I used a metallic silver paint pen to edge my inky background and X-Press It foam tape to pop up the "Stars" sentiment. Easy and fun!
