Howdy, gals! I fully intended to post this card last night, BUT we had a few minor "issues" around our house. So, here I am tonight.

I started with a base card of SU Gold Metallic cardstock. The light teal color you see is SU "retired" Cool Carribean. The stars are stamped with Versamark and embossed with Clear EP. Then I took 3 colors of Brilliant Dew Drop ink pads, metallic gold, pearlescent Platinum and Sky Blue. I used the platinum color first and using circular motions went over most of the card front. Then I dabbed a bit of gold metallic here and there to make it blotchy looking. I took a paper towel and rubbed all over the card front, doing this removed all ink from the clear embossed stars. The last step, I took the Sky Blue pad and starting in the middle of the star, I rubbed blue ink just to make a shadow around the stars. Taking a clean paper towel, I took the blue ink from the clear embossed stars. The tag with the saying on it is from the new nesties set "Fancy Tags 2. I just received Tags 3 in the mail yesterday and they all are beautiful! Final touch was the use of Hot Fix jewels in silver on the stars and gold stars on the tag. Til tomorrow....
