Reach for the Stars

The Twofer Challenge this month has the theme 'Stars'.   To enter the challenge two cards need to be made using the same stamp, stencil, or die for the prompt on two different designs for two different occasions.

I don't use stencils very often, so I thought I would use a stars stencil for my cards. 

I am joining in the Twofer Challenge with these two cards.

My first card is a CAS, one layer good luck card.  The stencil was a freebie which came with a magazine some time ago.  I used an Adirondack 'Sunshine Yellow' ink pad, applying the ink through the stencil with an Ink Duster, masking off a few of the stars.  The sentiment stamp is an old wood mounted stamp I bought many years ago and it's one of my favourite stamps.  I used a yellow marker pen to add a little colour to the moon.

I am joining in the following challenges with this card:
1. Less is More Challenge #389 ~ OLC - Focus On The Sentiment

2. Addicted to Stamps and More! Challenge #329 ~ Clean and Simple
3. A Place to Start Challenge ~ Use An Inspirational Die or Stamp

My second card has the same stencilled stars, stencilled using the same yellow ink as I used in the last card.  I die cut the circle with a Memory Box 'Stitched Circle', added a few small, green punched stars and layered on a green MB 'Stitched Circle' die cut.  The background was embossed with a Creative Espressions 'Shimmering Stars' e/f.  To finish my card, I added a strip of sentiment ribbon, backed with a thin strip of deep yellow card.
