Light It Up Blue for Autism Awareness

Hi all! Happy World Autism Awareness Day! I'm participating in a special blog hop:

If you're hopping along, you should be coming from Scrap Addict's blog.

Veronica and Tenia organized this hop, and I'm honored to attend! In addition to all of the awesome cards that are in the hop, there are also fantastic sponsors who have shown their support for Autism awareness. You can see the complete list of participants and sponsors on Veronica's blog.

I don't talk much about my job on the blog, but I work as a consultant in special education. This hop has a lot of meaning to me!

Anyhoo, here's my blue card:

I was inspired by Julie Ebersole, and in fact, bought this Savvy Stamps die because THIS card (she's such a covert enabler--ha ha). I watercolored the moon with Blue Slushie Maya Mist. I had the idea to use the leftover alphas to make a loose trail. It's kind of weird, but I like it. ;)

Here's a close-up of the moon:

The die-cut vellum stars are from Paper Smooches' Stars dies. I added some white and gold splatter to the base. The card looked a little naked at the bottom, so I dip-dyed the cardstock using the same spray mist. 

I've been playing around with my photos, and here's a different angle. Any comments on which picture is better? 

If you get a chance to link up your blue project, you can do so at Veronica's blog. She also has the list of sponsors. The winners of the giveaways will be drawn from the comments, and the more comments you leave on the participants' blogs, the greater your chances to win! 

Have a great day! Thanks for stopping by!
