OH LITTLE STAR ....

Happy Saturday Morning Crafty Pals
All I can say is Wow! Wow! Wow!
You certainly 'smashed' last week's Less Is More challenge!
What fantastic inspiration - can't thank you all enough.
I think it may be a record week of entries since I joined the little team!

So what's in store for you this week ....
It's a One Layer Card week with the theme

Starry, Starry Night

We are so kind to you all don't you think?
Giving you the chance to concentrate on Christmas cards
and entering a challenge too!

So here's my offerings


Having masked off a circle on my card base I've used
stamps from the Paper Smooches 'A Blessed Christmas' set; 
the silhouettes with black memento ink first then embossed with clear EP.
The base of the landscape is coloured with a 'matching' 
black memento marker which doesn't seem to match!
I used distress inks to create a skyline then gently spritzed with water and perfect pearls.
To finish the sentiment is from Clearly Besotted: Joy to The World
and a little gem from my stash for added sparkle to the star.




Distress inked again to create my skyline this time stars and snowflakes
stamped and embossed with WOW metallic silver sparkle EP after masking
the top of the card with post-it tape and the base with a Memory Box
Landscape die. The sentiment is Clearly Besotted: Sweet Little Sentiments
and to finish a wrap around of navy and white twine.


And one last one for you which I'm also going to enter over at Color Throwdown


Think I've gone a bit mad with my distress inks this week but couldn't resist
when I saw the adorable colour requirements at Color Throwdown.
The cluster of trees is one of my favourite stamps and it's been in my stash forever ...
It says Arts Impressions 1996 on the side and it's one of my few wooden ones. 
The stars are from Paper Smooches Blessed Christmas & Metropolitan;
these are all heat-embossed in black before inking over the top.
To finish the sentiment is Clearly Besotted: Christmas Sparkle.


Ok over to you talented people and I'm sure you'll come up with some
more fabulous inspiration for me as I think my mojo is still on holiday in York!

Thanks for stopping by today and have a fun week.
