Night Sky Silhouette

Hi, such exciting news!

I was asked by Loll from Stamping with Loll  to be a guest designer for Addicted to CAS.

I was thrilled. I've been a fan of this challenge almost since I started blogging as I love CAS cards.

The DT is full of really inspiring and talented card makers.

The code word this fortnight is SKY.

I sponged the night sky with a few distress inks and stencilled on some stars with embossing paste.

The 2 die cuts are from Memory Box. I modified both of them by trimming away some of the little trees and pruned a few branches from the twiggy tree.

There are a couple of other challenges I'd like to enter too.
At Virginia's View the challenge is to use die cuts.


At The Mixed Media Card Challenge, they are celebrating their very first challenge with a nature theme.
I hope I've got the rules right, you need to use inks, a stamp and 2 other techniques or items to add texture or dimension.
I've used a stamp for the sentiment, distress ink for the sky, and my other 2 techniques  are stencilling with paste for the stars and diecuts for the landscape and tree.

Materials used:
Memory Box modern landscape border and twiggy tree dies; Simon Says Stamp falling stars stencil; clear embossing paste coloured with silver mica powder; Hero Arts sentiment stamp; versafine ink and clear embossing powder; clear wink of stella pen on the yellow window.

Thanks for visiting, and enjoy the rest of your weekend.
