The first one I tried (the bottom one) I painted a separate piece of card with the Starlights Paints using some Cut n Dry foam and tore it so it looked more uneven and glued it to the 4" white card - I then hand painted a sky scene using the Spectrum Noir Aqua Markers on to some more card and ag...
