Still gazing at the stars

Hello, its Jane here with my 2nd inspiration piece for our stars challenge. I have used the same colour distress inks and stamp as I did for my debut stars card but created something very different.

My fairy Christmas card is all ready watching for Santa...she "believes"....do you ;0)

I have a step by step over at my blog here if you would like to see how I made her.

There are only 3 more days left to enter our challenge...don't miss out!

Back soon,

The Country View Challenges theme this month is Stars and I I couldn't help but use this Marilyn Monroe quotation! It seemed so perfect! The stencilled stars were made using Metallic Glaze paint so they had a shimmer when the light catches them! 

Thank you, as always, for popping by!

I am really excited to be able to present to you my second interpretation of the Stars theme here on the Country View Crafts blog. Since I joined the team, I seem to have been a bit bonkers about Landscapes. Please visit my blog to see how I created it.

Reach For The Stars

Good Morning and Happy Monday. I'm very happy to be back and sharing my second 'stars' themed piece with you. It's a double page in my small journal and I've used lots of my favourite PaperArtsy stamps.

There are more photographs here on my blog.

Thanks very much for looking , and have a great week. Sue xx

Monika

Baby, You're a STAR

Hi it's Brenda here and I'm sharing an easel card with you today to fit in with the theme of STARS which is our challenge for November.

I love adding an easel to a canvas board so that it makes a standing card to give a friend, I think it makes it kinds special.

If you'd like to see how I made it then please pop over to Bumblebees and Butterflies for more details.

Hopefully with our continuous projects appearing on the blog we are enticing you to join in and enter the challenge, you can press the link Here or on the sidebar of the main challenge blog page to see more about it.

Enjoy your weekend whatever you have planned.
