An early post gave me time to make a card before lunch as I had ringfenced the morning for stamping.
The base was my first attempt at Lydia's recent tutorial from the Inkling ( Brayered Emboss Resist Tutorials at Splitcoaststampers ). Not the best choice of ef, but it was on my desk. After the embossing I used Brushos to add colour. While working through using up a lot of oddments from my desk last weekend, I had come across the large star, so I knew I was up and running for the challenge. I stamped some smaller ones, embossed in black, painted with gold and added tiny dots of Liquid Pearls to them. All stars are popped up on foam.
The base was coloured with a gold distress crayon, and then stamped with another star in Delicata gold, and eventually embossed with gold EP as the stamping wasn't showing up enough. The Dream sentiment was made by die-cutting a piece of card with double-sided adhesive attached, and then buffing gilding flakes into it. I'll add an angled detail shot in the challenge thread.
ETA, did a search in my gallery and that star has survived on my desk for over 2 years. It was stamped and embossed with gold and coloured with Twinkling H2Os, apparently.

This is beautiful, Sabrina! I love your color choices (my favorites!) and all the texture and interest. Absolutely fabulous. I'm glad I'm not the only one who has trouble getting the gold ink stamping to show up enough!
