Repeat Ghost Stencilling
- Foil the Falling stars hfp with Aura Glimmer Foil on your choice of white cardstock. Using the coordinating stencil, colour the stars with Sapphire ink. Reposition the stencil and use the ink remains on your brush and stencil to add more stars. (Repeat the process until you’re happy with the stars.) Blend more sapphire ink at the top of the panel so the stars are coming out of it.
- Turn the panel 90° & trim to 4in X 5.25in. Tear the longest edge, opposite the stars and rough up the edges with a paper distressed or scissor blade. Adhere a strip of Navy cardstock behind this to make the panel 4in X 5.25in again. Adhere to an a2 cardbase.
- Stamp, emboss & die cut a sentiment from Uplifting Sentiments on more Navy cardstock with Gold Rich ep.
- Emboss more Navy cardstock and once cooled, die cut several stars using Falling Stars die set. Adhere the sentiment and star embellishments using foam adhesive for dimension.

Please be aware:
As part of my Design Team and Guest Design work I do often receive free products to use, but I only ever recommend products that I genuinely love.
Also, I know how incredibly lucky I am to have these opportunities, but you don’t always NEED the newest products or the ‘full set’.
So please don’t feel that you need everything.
I like to show a variety of brands and products; this way there will be something for everybody to enjoy.
