June 2024 Taylor Swift Challenge

Hi everyone! Since we got a whole new album last month with a surprising 31 sings (not to mention a whole new set added to her European leg of the tour) I thought I would draw inspiration from one of her new songs. I think it's my favorite from the new album! Here's a shot of her singing Down Bad live:

Image

In the song Down Bad, she compares the life of a relationship to an alien abduction. Her eyes were opened, her worldview was changed, but after it was over, she was back on her own where she started and had she has to figure out how to move forward now that she knows what she's missing.

Did you really beam me up?
In a cloud of sparkling dust
Just to do experiments on
Tell me I was the chosen one
Show me that this world is bigger than us
Then sent me back where I came from
For a moment, I knew cosmic love

So your challenge this month is to make something with spaced themed paper or embellishments.
Some examples would be including something with constellationsplanets, moons, the Milky Way, etc. and/or aliens and flying saucers.

Here is an example where I used all kinds of spacey things, including space print paper, some newsprint washi with the stages of the moon, holographic washi with constellations and a globe puffy sticker. Any one of these would fit the challenge but the more the better, right? Make sure you specify the spacey thing you used in your post.

Just a quick question- would northern lights fit into this??  Been contemplating while recouping on how to create a mixed media BG for my photos.

I would say no since auroras technically happen within our atmosphere, not in space.

Photo at the International UFO Museum and Research Center in Roswell, NM.  The lights above our head is a space ship.  It came out a little to dark in the photo.  There are aliens behind us.  It was a fun place to visit.
