Challenge 21: Lunar Landing

Challenge 21
theme challenge
Lunar Landing
⭐📽️⭐

Last month was the 55th anniversary of the Apollo 11 Moon landing, so this is a inspo theme to make icons that show inspiration from that event and lunar exploration.
I have included inspo icons and links to stock images and six Colourlovers color palettes.

Option 1. You may use the given items or find your own items to decorate your icons and combine them with any colors you want for the Moon exploration theme.
Option 2. If you want to use only color palettes and no Moon theme items, you must use the provided palettes from this post.
Please note which palettes you have used in your challenge entry if you choose the color palette theme.

Please use the supplied screen caps from the posts at capspiration listed below.
Post dates for this challenge:

Start at April 20th, 2024 and stop at May 17th, 2024.
Here, in the archive monthly view of Capspiration, you can view a list of the posts and subjects for those weeks.

April 2024 - https://capspiration.dreamwidth.org/2024/04/
May 2024 - https://capspiration.dreamwidth.org/2024/05/
Please, remember to only pick your images from between the start & stop dates I wrote above, April 20 (Damsel), and May 17 (X-Men `97).
The capspiration mods made 74 posts in that time.
All the LJ community posts were imported to the DW (I'm not sure if all the tags are still imported).

Notes: If Colorlovers is down I put palette images at the bottom of the post.
ImgBB has been down for maintenance lately, if you can't see a screen cap I have posted after a while, comment to the post here or at the caps comm & I'll try to upload it for you within a short time.
Sorry this is so late, I had a Moon landing theme in mind, but completely forgot we had a Sun, Moon and stars challenge last year so I had to modify it to focus on color palettes as well, to change it up.
Here's a screen shot of the resources & palettes so you can see the names of the palettes and if any images go missing and you want to ask me to upload it again.

I'm so excited for this theme! Is the start date for the caps April 19 or March 22?

[luminousdaze]

Yay! 😊 Neither. It's supposed to start with April 20. Sorry, I copied and mixed up the starting & ending dates of the last round. It looks like the links are correct but what I wrote is wrong in both paragraphs! 🤦🏽‍♀️

[impala_chick]

Oh ok, got it thanks!

[littlemissnovella]

Thanks for using one of my icons in the inspirations!

[luminousdaze]

YW! ☺️

You're welcome! :) No, not the entire months of April or May. Only the individual posts from the days from the dates I listed above in the paragraph after I wrote "Post dates...."
Start at April 20th, 2024 and stop at May 17th, 2024 in other words only the posts from April 20 through May 17.

[michaelmyers]

K, thank you. That cleared that up. Am I allowed to use my own Moon pics I took?

[luminousdaze]

Yes, any fitting Moon stock photos or art textures etc. are allowed (no people/astronauts). 🌜

[michaelmyers]

Awesome, thank you. I used two of my Moon shots I've done.
