Reach for the stars......

Hello,

I hope you are well and that your week was a good one!

Today I would like to share with you a card I have made using 'Tilda Catching Stars' from Magnolia's Princes and  Princesses collection.

 I have stamped Tilda out with Archival coffee onto 300gsm water colour paper. For my painting I have used distress ink pads.

I covered the corrugated card with white paint and added crackle paint all around it. Then I distressed it with walnut stain and added star dust stickle glue.

The stars and the frame are Quickutz.

I layered my card and paper with sticky fixers.

Here is the inside left. I used the pattern of the Pion paper and added flowers, sentiment and Quickutz leaves.

The metal corner and butterfly are WOC.

I added clear Sakura glitter pen to the crown and star.

I will be adding my card to Ebay.

Thank you so very much for looking!

I wish you a wonderful weekend!
