LESS is MORE this week has the theme of Stars.
I knew I had the perfect words (Stamp Camp, I think) but couldn’t work out how to use them, so I masked off an area of white card and sprayed it with subtle colours of Glimmer Mist – Sea Grass and Peony (I think), then blotted it with my paper towel roll, which just happened to have some ochre ink on from a previous project (messy). I liked it.
I stamped the lovely blotchy stars but – despite NOT being a glitter lover - wanted a bit of glitter, so I embossed with Holographic EP and added a silver star brad.
Stamping was done with Versafine Blue – can’t remember the exact name but it’s a lovely royal blue.

I always prefer photos to scans, the results are always more vibrant... you can always enhance them in a free program like Picasa. It's great to see the glitter... I do love a bit of twinkle!
Super card.
Thanks so much

What's going on in the world - I'm getting more arty farty & you're becoming designer CAS lol. It's all gone topsy turvy haha. Good thing too, as you have created a beautiful card. The EP is a wonderful creative effect. And I love the sentiment, I can see why you bought that stamp. It shows just what a versatile stamp artist you are. :) Pxx

Hi Cath
Thank you so much for the congratulations. I am still buzzing as I cannot believe I've made it into Somerset Studio for the second time this year alone.
I like the way you stamped the text down the centre of the card. This card's composition is so striking.
Trying to catch up with friends' art as I've been unable to get as much done lately.
Hope a lovely Sunday.
Wishes
