I hadn't made a galaxy style background in a while, so I decided to break out the watercolors and create a perfect background to feature a fabulous sentiment from Lil' Inker Designs All the Christmas You'll Ever Need stamp set!

I masked off the edges of my panel of watercolor paper, then went crazy with the watercolors. I added some gold splatters and white paint splatters to complete the background - I always love the surprise and mystery of how those background are going to turn out!

I heat embossed my sentiment on a panel of black cardstock die cut with Stitched Mats: Dual Stitched Squares, matted that with a bit of white cardstock, then mounted with foam tape on the background after tucking a twirl of gold thread underneath. I added some Gold Star Confetti from Pretty Pink Posh, and then mounted that entire panel on a white cardbase.
