Him LTC

This is my card for Team Awesome Pants' "Him" LTC swap.  My cards is called "Track 12."  For this swap TAP made a Praise and Worship CD.  Participants were supposed to pick a number and she would send the song title that went with that track on the CD.  We were asked to keep our song titles top secret and I found it very hard to not share my card on Facebook.

I got Track 12: Our Great God.  I had never heard this song before.  About a year and a half ago we switched to a baptist church that only sings hymns and I don't listen to Christian radio.  It's a great song, but the first time I listened to it nothing jumped out at me for the LTC.  I thought about making a plain worship card with silhouettes of people with their hands raised on a gelli print background.  

But when I listened the second time the end of the last verse got my attention.  It says, "Let all the moons and all the stars, In all the universe, Sing praises to the living God, Who rules them by His Word." 

Him: Track 12

I jumped on Pinterest and started looking for space ATCs.  I found two videos of this background.  In the first video the woman is hard to understand and she doesn't tell what colors she is using.  I like her card better because it has more blue.  But I followed the second video because she gives more detailed instructions.  

I played around with different papers for this technique.  The woman in the video says she uses watercolor paper.  I tired card stock, Bristol, and watercolor.  Card stock worked best for me.  I rubbed the ink on, dripped water, blotted, let it dry, and splatted white paint with a tooth brush.  Then I glued my space background to the grey background, stamped my text stamp, and attached my moon with a 3D glue dot.  I LOVE how these cards turned out :)
