Inspiration: Try Stampin' on Tuesday #349 + ColourQ #66
I hadn't purchased the Star of Light bundle when it came out last year, but when it came back in the annual catalogue this year, I let myself get tempted. This was my first creation with the stamp set and Thinlits, combined with the Sheet Music background stamp to create the Soft Sky stamped piece. There's quite a few steps to create that piece. I first stamped the background in Soft Sky. I then overstamped the swirl in Whisper White ink, but it was not showing up as much as I thought it would, so I cleaned my stamp, inked it in Smoky Slate and overstamped it close to the white. That gave the image a lot of depth while still remaining subtle. I then added a few small and large stars in Soft Sky everywhere, and I added the small star in Whisper White ink in the center of the larger stars. I heat set my inks a bit, then stamped the tiny stars in VersaMark and embossed them in gold. Finally, I added my sentiment in Tuxedo Black Memento ink.
The large star was stamped in VersaMark and embossed in gold on So Saffron cardstock, die-cut and topped with a metallic enamel dot.
