Birthday stars


Hi everyone, I need some masculine birthday cards, so I'm using up some watercoloured paper smooshed through some diluted dylusions ink, along with a new toy, the starlit breeze die.

I've diecut some stars from scraps of silver shimmer paper to pop back in to the panel, and my happy diecut looks silvery and black thanks to some aged black frantage enamel.

I'm linking up to Simon Says Stamp Monday where the theme is to use some metal,
I hope the silver paper and frantage enamel are ok as faux metal.

and there's a  new theme at CAS Mix Up Card Challenge, I've heat embossed with frantage enamel, stamped the small sentiment and used smooshing with inks.

Cathy, wonderful card, love that watercoloured background and brilliant die cut. Love how you used the stars that were cut out of the watercolour panel as well.
Another die that cries out to me.....I must resist :)
