MTCC Slimline Space Birthday Card with Galaxy Background
Hello! Today, we are making a slimline space themed birthday card with a simplified galaxy background. We’re starting with black cardstock.
Our layout is inspired by this week’s challenge from Make the Cards Challenge.
Instead of starting with white cardstock and inking the galaxy background, we’re taking a shortcut. Start with black cardstock and use some Distress Oxide Inks to add various colors. Seriously! It’s that easy.
Then, splatter with white and add some sparkly splatters.
All of the images are stamped on Neenah cardstock with Copic safe ink. I colored each image in just a few colors.
I kept the rest of the card really simple too. I added a strip of textured cardstock to the edge of the black background. All of the sentiments are stamped in black ink on white cardstock and trimmed out in strips.
The finished size of this slimline card is 8.5″ x 3.75″. I hope you give this simplified galaxy background a try and don’t forget to join us for this week’s challenge.

Hi Jill, this card is uber adorable!!! I haven’t tried this galaxy technique so I’ll be adding it to my “to try” list! Thanks for the new technique 🙂
It makes galaxy backgrounds so easy!
Such a great take on the sketch! I had no idea that the Distress Oxides would show up so well on black cardstock, I will definitely have to give that a try!
This card is just adorable! I love your background. Starting on a black background is such a good idea!! That little textured edge detail is fabulous! Love it all!
