Love your silver challenge today, Kim...I've been waiting for the perfect occasion to ink this fabulous image from Stampland. Isn't it beautiful?
For my silver, I used a Spica glitter pen in silver to color the stars falling from the angels' hand. Notice her bowl full of stars waiting to be released. I paired this lovely image with the Swahili quote,
"No one can travel by someone else's STAR."
I stamped it in onto white cardstock and then cut it apart to make it fit my design. To replace the word with an actual star, I glittered a brass charm with vintage glass glitter in Antique Silver.
I would love to know what you think...and thanks so very much for your comments!

Susan, how BEAUTIFUL!!
I love this gorgeous angel and how you stamped it. It almost looks like it is etched onto the paper. I really like the quote and how you added the star to replace the word.
INCREDIBLE.....

Hi, Susan! I'm just checking in from my sister's home in Delaware. Your card is just stunning! I had such a strong emotional response when I looked at this. I just love it. Someone else called it mystical and I think that's a good descriptor for this. I love the sprinkling of the glittery stars coming from the angel's hand and the wonderful sentiment you chose.
