Pair ink blending with embroidery for out-of-this-world effects
There are various ways to complete your constellation scenes. Using a flicking motion, apply small specks of ink to your galaxy backgrounds with a white gel pen or paint to create abstract starry skies. If you’re after a little more sparkle, you could even sprinkle over a little embossing glitter through a stencil and heat set it to give your make a lovely twinkle, or give paper stitching a go using silver thread.
