MFT August Release Countdown--Day 5


 

It's time for My Favorite Things August Release Countdown!
We're heading into Halloween with little goblins and trick-o'-treaters and
so much more!

Day 5 begins with Shining Stars Die-namics and Written in the Stars stamp set.


Check out the gorgeous font. You don't need much else for a stellar (pardon the
pun!) card as the die cut word makes such a bold statement.

The sentiment was silver embossed on watercolor card stock, then ink distressed
with Distress Oxide inks and misted with water. The panel was trimmed with the
rectangle element from BP 24 and adhered to a Stone Gray card base.

"Stars" was cut from Silver Sparkle card stock and adhered between the two phrases.
Small silver stars were also cut from sparkle card stock and adhered to the card.


Here's a little tip for you. After the card was finished and all the elements were
adhered, I ran it through my Big Shot machine sandwiched between two plates.
The result is a smooth, flat finish and even the silver embossing looks shinier.
