Happy Friday! This week marked my 1000th published post here on rukristin.com—I’ll be sharing a big interview that I did with myself in tomorrow’s newsletter. I want to thank you all so much for being here and hanging out with me each day.

Technique of the Day
I was going for a cool galaxy look on today’s page. The first thing I did was grab a white Sharpie Creative Marker and make those fun star/asterisk marks. I love using these markers as the first layer on the gel print. They show up so well and you can do all sorts of fun stuff with them. I need to get my hands on the new color set when I get a chance too.
For the background color, I mixed some dark purple, dark blue, and black to get this fun deep color that really makes the white pop. To finish it all up, I added some rubbing alcohol to some silver paint and gave my page some splatters.
For the words—I added this Anne Lamott quote, illustrated by my friend Brandi Kincade. I love when I find the perfect words for a page.

Tips & Creative Wisdom
Build your own galaxy color blend
Layering purples, blues, and black creates that dreamy space vibe. Don’t worry about perfection—the magic happens in the mix.
Pro Tip: Add a little silver (or iridescent) paint with rubbing alcohol for starry splatter that dries fast and feels dimensional.
