Suffice to say the result was definitely 'out of this world' and the boys in red really did 'sparkle' - so in their honour -
Regular visitors will recall I made a card with an offcut from a galaxy background (it's HERE if you want a look!). This is the original background where that offcut came from.
I quite like galaxy backgrounds (when I get them right) and I think this is one of my better ones. If you've not tried a galaxy background there are lots of great examples here on pinterest!
Lots of different colours used - Squeezed Lemonade, Fossilized Amber, Picked Raspberry, Seedless Preserve, Dusty Concord, Black Soot.
A liberal splattering with water then when dry some white acrylic paint gave me my stellar sky.
The Starbursts and the sentiment are from Visible Image, simply heat embossed.

What a fabulous background for your celebratory fireworks
Amazing indeed, when I woke up this morning I wasn't sure if it was a dream, what a night and smiled even more when I saw the front page of the Times was none other than the beaming Mr K. A perfect creation.
