Don't let anyone dull your sparkle - idea #1

Using a piece of white card measuring 15cm square, I began by building my background using squeezed lemonade & mustard seed oxide inks. Next taking the Great Outdoors stencil, I began creating a night time, cloudy sky. I began with hickory smoke and then added black soot - both in oxides.

Serenity Stardust has been stamped with Versafine Clair and coloured with pencils. As a finishing touch, I have added extra details with Sakura Moonlight gelly roll pens. The wings have been given sparkle using a Nuvo glimmer pen.

The sentiment I have stamped in gold embossing powder and slowly bleached the oxide ink away. When dry, I add a white haze effect using a Sakura white gel pen.

Don't let anyone dull your sparkle - idea #2

Using the same colour oxide inks, I created a looser, circular background. I did not do as much blending as it is going to be my mat layer. I have die cut a serious of circles from glitter and mirri card using Polkadoodles Fanciful Circles & Stitched Circles layering die sets. 

Serenity Stardust has been stamped on to one of the circle layers & coloured with pencils. This time I have kept the colouring quite simple. With a Sakura Moonlight gelly roll in yellow, I have created a washed out effect around the moon. 

Extra finishing touches have been made with gold embossing powder & Nuvo glimmer pen. This time the sentiment has been stamped in black on to white card & then added to the front of my card. A few sequins finish off the card.
