Starry Friend

Welcome to my little corner of blogland!  I'm here today with a sketch from the delightful Cecile Ribon for the latest Freshly Made Sketches challenge.

I had just received the Star Turnabout stamp and die so had to put it through its paces.  Unfortunately, I completely forgot to use the die - doh!

I set up the stamp and turntable in my Misti and then proceeded to stamp onto both a Gravel Gray panel and a white panel.  I stamped and embossed with various embossing powders - on the white panel I used Rose Gold, Antique Gold, Black Sparkle and Liquid Platinum.  On the gray panel I substituted white for the Black Sparkle, because I didn't think it would show up.  I wish I'd kept to the black sparkle but so be it.

Once I'd finished embossing, I used one of my Creative Corners to mark off the angled sides and cut the gray panel down.  I adhered it to the white panel and added some black cardstock strips.  The sentiment was die-cut from black three times and rose gold foil card once and stacked together.  The rose gold die-cut was offset slightly for added interest.  Finally I went over the word with clear sparkle pen.   Here's another angle so you can see the sparkle.

Thanks for visiting!  The DT have some gorgeous cards and we have a new guest designer joining us for July so be sure to head on over and check out their cards.
