- Set aside the cutout piece till later on.
- Now fold a single sheet of gray cardstock paper in half.
- Unfold it and squirt some paint on one side of the paper.
- Once the paint is down, go ahead and refold/squish your paper together again.
- Use your hands to to rub all over the folded paper piece, so the paint blends together nicely inside.
- When ready, carefully unfold your piece to reveal your “paint splat” design inside. This will become the background for your card.
- Working fast, go ahead and sprinkle some loose craft glitter on top of the wet paint.
- Now grab your card cutout from earlier, along with your stapler.
- To finish the spaceship themed card – place the cutout on top of the paint covered piece and staple the corners so the two pieces won’t come apart.
- When done with the craft, set aside your piece to let it dry completely before you display it proudly for ALL to see!
