The photo for the newest Fusion Challenge immediately made me think of my new alcohol ink lift pad from Tim Holtz and Ranger. My card doesn't really have anything to do with "galaxy" but it was inspired by the Fusion photo.
I first created the alcohol inked background piece and while sections of it were still sticky, added gold foil. Then using the alcohol lift ink, I stamped the "sending you" part of the sentiment - I used my MISTI and stamped several times to get a clear impression. Matted this with some gold metallic paper, added the little "birthday wishes" and mounted it all on a white card base. Jennifer McGuire and Carissa Wiley each have good blog posts on how to use alcohol lift ink.
