I created the background with smooshing salty ocean and chipped sapphire distress inks. I did about three layers to get the depth of colour I wanted. I then splattered with diluted white acrylic paint for the stars. I don't have a rocket stamp, so I googled an image, printed, fussy-cut and coloured it with zig markers. I added crystal drops to the windows for some shine. The sentiment is heat embossed in white.
