Stars


Here's one of the card I made at the weekend for the new Everybody Art Challenge for Stars, that went the CAS way.
First the image is a freebie from a couple of years ago which I love and have to use it for Christmas cards at least once. Before I layered her though I used the Simon Says Stamp Stars and Dots stencil with Dreamweaver glossy white paste. I sprinkled glamour dust before I lifted the stencil but I feel that was wrong and that I should have sprinkled the dust after I lifted but it worked anyway.
Although it doesn't look it I used the Spellbinders Curved border die to make the snow layers but I used some stickles to highlight the drifts and to stop the image looking like it floating. The star is Memory box and with a bit of help from double sided tape I added some glamour dust on that too.
Once layered onto coloured card I couldn't bring myself to decorate the outside.

I'm debating whether to just photo my cards crooked instead of struggle for straight cards which is why I added the card at a jaunty angle but it looks a straight card I photo crooked!
Do pop over and check out the team and hope you can join us this month.

Wow Debby - a stunner of a card! Beautiful image with such a gorgeous purple - looks fab with the white and sparkle.

I did giggle about your fretting over photos showing cards 'on the wonk' - in truth we don't notice unless it's our own photos! I've temporily lost my fave place to take photos and have had to resort to the renovated shower room. There I can prop backing card on one of the 'worktops', sit on the loo to be at the right height and click away. Talk about improvisation :) I hasten to add that it's not in use just yet.
