This great image is from The East Wind and there are lots of cute and quirky images there:

I tried embossing with a die and then used it as a stencil to ink over with distress ink (I masked the image first) to make a frame for the image, then used a larger size to diecut the frame out. 
On the base card, I used a background stars die on blue card and backed it with silver paper, and added silver stars to the topper that I made with the die embossing and stencilling.
