Made ya look with that title, huh? Corny, I know!
I started this card because of Julia's Ways to Use It challenge, to use fabric.....got stuck....until I saw Judy's Limited Supply challenge to 'Stretch Yourself' and use something non-typical of yourself. So...my blue-jean starry night ended up very busy once I threw in eyelets and linen thread, which were my 2 'stretch' items. The stamps are from a new release, 'Keep My Lamp Burning', from Our Daily Bread Designs. The lighthouse was stamped on Very Vanilla, cut out, sponged with Night of Navy and popped up on foam tape. The moonlight (or light from the lighthouse, whichever you prefer) is a punched circle, sponged in Barely Banana, and ran through the bug. The 'land' and 'sea' were cut by hand and ran through the bug also for a little character. The stars are liquid pearls. Added gingham ribbon, silver eyelets, linen thread, and a silver charm. Thanks so much for looking!!! Have a blessed weekend!

Oh My Gosh what a great card! You put so much detail into this one. I love the way you created your border with the twine and the "stars" on the fabric. What a wonderful creation. TFS all the deets!

I love the way you've threaded the linen through those eyelets. Still trying to work out how you did it. Unless you found an easier way than it looks to me, that was a labour of love.
