Hi, I was inspired to make this card by a couple of challenges.
At A Blog Named Hero, the theme is to create a project inspired by a Hero Arts artist.
I have been a fan of Jennifer McGuire's work for a few years now. I think she introduced me to distress inks and Perfect Pearls. This card uses a popular resist technique I learned from her also.
I stamped Penny Black constellation in Versamark on watercolour paper, and embossed in white. I blended the three shades of distress ink to highlight the image. Lastly I sprayed with Perfect pearls mist to give it a sheen.
The challenge at Allsorts challenge blog, is to use Kraft card in your project. I embossed the kraft base with
Couture Creations Powder Puff folder. I thought it was a good match for the stamped image. The sentiment sticker is from my stash.
I'm also linking up to the challenge at Simon Says Stamp Monday challenge, where the theme is Celebrate.
Thanks for visiting :)

Love to see this kind of inking. It's always a stunning effect, especially with the white embossing. Beautiful my done!
This is gorgeous Cathy. I too love Jennifer McG's work and it was her that inspired me to play with inks and perfect pearls. Love the techniques you have picked and the colours are scrummy.
