A Starry Sky

 A second inspiration project for the Country View Crafts Challenge on Facebook where Zoe set the theme as Snowflakes and Stars. I decided to use a mop up piece of card with TH Tiny Stars embossing folder and his Sizzix Dimensional Stars dies.


1. Dip, dip and dry card with Chipped Sapphire distress ink.


2. Put card through the cutting machine in the Tiny Stars embossing folder.


3. Apply foundry wax with finger over the star tops .... 


4. ..... and heat.


5. I wish I'd stamped over the blue, so I stamped now to get some more interest in the background.


6. Cut three stars. (see supplies below)


7. Take a new piece of card and cover in the star washi tape.



8. Mount the background onto dark blue paper and add a narrower washi tape.  The blue pieces I made myself.
