Directions:

First things first – print out the provided printable listed above, on white cardstock paper. One print will give you TWO opportunities to do this craft.
If desired, color in the spaceship design in the printable.
Next up – use scissors to trim out ONE of the designs.
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!
