Falling Star

Steps to Create this Card

1. For this card, I stamped the image of the mouse and stars onto a 5 x 7 card with Picket Fence Black Hybrid Ink.

2. Then, I colored in the images with Copic Markers, E15, E18, E79, Y21 and Y23 (These E, Y and YR colors are on sale 10% off at Violeta-Ink for all of October! Tell them Daniel West sent you)

3. Next, I masked off the images and blended some Dress Blues Ink over the entire panel in an uneven gradient with a blending brush.

4. After that, I stamped the sentiment in Versamark Ink and melted some Gold Embossing Powder over it with a heat tool.

5. Then, to finish it all off, I added some white stars with a Posca Paint Marker and some gold stars with a Gold Gel Pen.
