Starry Sky

 

I love to check out the night sky and look for satellites etc.  At the moment the planets are lined up and easy to see.  It is so calming to be out there at night knowing you are a tiny dot in a big universe, and all this happens without you lifting a finger.

I blended the background with Distress Oxide inks, spritzed with water to activate, then splattered with white Distress Stain.  The negative of a diecut is used as a stencil with BoBunny Glitter Paste for the stars.  Stamped the constellations with silver ink. Stamped sentiment.  Stamped the critters, smooshed them with DI's to colour.   They are diecut & stacked.

Lucy Birthday

 Yes, we're all about animals at Critter Crazy.  I'm sure you have favourite critters to share.

The design team have lots of inspiration; join us here with yours:  crittercrazychallenge

Lucy's first birthday has a pretty dotty paper background, some animal die cuts that are stacked.  Other diecuts include the banners (which are suspended from the cord, so they are a bit interactive) and the number (which is cut from pearlescent card).  The heart is a drop-out from another die.
