For this project I made an ink background with distress inks.  I traced a cube from the Grundge paper pack.  The hanging vines are made from the ocean scene craft die.

Sets used: Adventures in Time and Space, Stitched Alpha Dies

For this card I made a galaxy background with distress oxide inks.  

See photo steps below.  

 

Leaving some white space creates a deeper variance of color

Distress Oxide Black Soot works best for this effect, you don't have to cover the whole card with it, just a light dusting in some spots works great.

Acrylic paints are great for black and white splatters

Viola! Galaxy background achievement unlocked.
