Next I stamped my greeting and the moon and star from the WPLUS9 Lucky Stars Stamp Set using Versamark and heat embossed it with Ranger Gold Tinsel Embossing Powder. I love the sparkle this adds to any card. I cut several stars from the Simon Says Stamp Large Holiday Hearts and Stars Die from scraps of gold foil card stock. Using a Versamarker, I added a few dots with WOW! Platinum Sparkle Embossing Powder to give the appearance of some larger stars. For my final touch on the background panel I misted it with a light mist of glycerin water and then took a pinch of Iridescent Sparkle Embossing Powder and sprinkled it on the card front & heat set it. It gives a beautiful sheer sparkle imitating a starry night sky. Unfortunately I was not able to capture than in the photograph. Still, it makes for a very pretty card.
I die cut the panel with the largest Simon Says Stamp Stitched Rectangle then adhered it to a Bermuda Bay top folding card base. Single layer cards are by far the easiest to mail and don't require extra postage or hand cancelling. My best friend loves green so this is going out in tomorrow's mail for her!
Thanks so much for stopping by. I really appreciate it when you take time to comment. Have a great rest of the weekend.

ReplyDeleteThis card is AMAZING! That background is stunning with the way that the colors blend together. The metallic touches give it a Celestial feel and I really like how you added the sentiment, which is subtle, yet filled with light! This whole thing made me think of a magical sky somewhere and I loved the fantastical look you created!
