I love my star :)

Yesterday, my husband surprised me with a gift... Distress inks :) I have been thinking about buying these for quite a while and he is so adorable to remember it and give the inks as a surprise to me :) I jumped when I got these :) I guess for crafters any thing crafty is the best gift :)
So here I am back with another card. I also have had these star dies from Momenta bought from Hobby Lobby and wanted to use them. There were a few challenges that provoked me to use them. I was inspired by the Sketch at CAS(E) this sketch #61, the theme Stars at The Friday Mashup #144, the colors from the Photo Inspiration at Inspired by Challenge #104 and the Moxie Fab World's - Constellations - Trendy Star Power Challenge :)
Yep I did it again, combined so many challenges together, its gratifying!! LOL
To make this I first made a sun burst stencil from card stock. I masked the card base as per the sketch and inked the burst with Distress Ink. I cut n embossed stars and inked them. I hand drew the lines indicating that the stars are hanging from stitch lines. Then I added the splatter of Pool ink from Tim Holtz. I arranged the stars n stuck them with glue n foam dots. I also added some sequin stars. I finishes the card with hand drawn knot at the end of stitch line n hand written sentiment.
  
Thank you for stopping by and leaving me a comment :)
