A card today using a die which has sadly been discontinued. The die is quite a large die, measuring about 4½" across.
The die is Lavinia 'Celtic Dreams ~ Star Gazing', which I used with black card. I blended Distress Ink for the sky, masking off the moon with a circle of card. I layered the finished scene on a navy mat and added tiny clear gems for the stars. The background was embossed with a Creative Expressions 'Shimmering Stars' e/f, layered on a navy mat. Six punched stars finished off my card.
I am joining in the following challenges:

Wow, this is a stunning card Liz! I love that die, so pretty, shame it was discontinued. I love the sky you created with your inks, the moon just shines. The embossed mat of stars is perfect for this image. Reminds me of being a young girl on my grandparents farm, laying in the grass looking up at the sky and stars or sometimes sitting on a bank and doing that. lol Simple charished times! Hugs, Brenda
