While pondering what I was going to create for this challenge, my mind went to galaxy, and while looking for some inspiration, I came across a video by Jennifer McGuire in which she uses Ranger Distress Resist Spray to create a couple of galaxy cards. Something somewhere along the line inspired me to buy the product, and I promptly put it in a cabinet in my craft space, and forgot about it. I was intrigued and decided to try it out, and this card happened. It's a hot mess, but I really like the way it turned out. I was a little nervous to hear that you have to be very careful not to get the spray anywhere you don't want it, and I can now see why. I took Jen's advice and sprayed it into a deep box... The whole process was fun was fun.
Please head on over to the Time Out Challenge Blog where you can see what Jaydee and the Design Team have created for your inspiration. Come play with us! I can't wait to see how you interpret our theme! Please remember that we allow linking to a total of 5 challenges, including ours. See you in the gallery!

This is fabulous, not a mess at all!! Your galaxy has turned out great and I love the combination of dies and stamps that you used in your card -so much detail and a very fun scene. xxx
This is fab Stephanie! Your galaxy is perfect and the character peeking out of the spaceship is fun!! The planet and starry edging were great ideas. And you had all these products to make this fun card!!! I love it so much!
WOW...what an awesome card Stephanie!! Your background is sooooo cool looking and the moon and rocket the perfect additions...love the sentiment too!! Your card is definitely out of this world my friend!! Hugs. :0)
What an absolutely fabulous background!
I agree with everyone else, your background is stellar! This is a fabulous card, Stephanie!
I've been told about a galaxy or two and therefore qualify to concur that yours is truly out of this world! LOve that alien astronaut!
=]
It's amazing how Jennifer comes to the rescue!!! That background is gorgeous and you showcased those distress resist inks to perfection. The white framing is fabulous and I love how the circular parts of it echo the circular elements on your card. As for your little astronaut - he/she/it just made me smile! Fabulous card, Stef. Thank you for having me along as your guest designer for this wonderful challenge
hugs

I had to chuckle (all right laugh out loud) at your commentary about buying the Resist Spray, Stephanie. I too bought it and then promptly forgot what for. I'm following the link back to Jennifer's video to remind me so thanks for that. Meanwhile back in space, your rocket to the moon is great and the astronaut flying it is getting a colorful view of the night sky.
What a fabulous background Stephanie and that cute little alien astronaut is adorable! Love the split sentiment too! Hugs, Kate!
Spectacular galaxy design! You nailed the technique on this card. Love the cute stamps and die cuts that complete this space scene. Thanks for sharing with A Cut Above's May Challenge.
I recently had a play with sprays that I've had forever, too, Stephanie, but I didn't think to make a cool galaxy background like this. I can see that they work great! I love the colors and the perfect star border with, of course, the best sediment ever! Thank you for inspiring everyone to use their NBUS! Hugs, Darnell
WOW, I can't get enough of your background, you really nailed that galaxy technique. WELL DONE!! Lots of wonderful work here, thanks so much for playing along with us over at A Cut Above. I hope we see you back again soon!!
