Fairy Couple

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:
Allsorts Challenge Week 645 ~ Embellish it (gems)

    This is really magical Liz and love the strong black die cut with the moonlit blue sky, and such a great idea to add the gems as stars, and the starry embossed background goes beautifully. x

    I'm glad you got that die before it was discontinued as it is beautiful. The starry background you created is lovely and adding those pretty blue stars really made it pop. The gems for stars are awesome and really look like stars.

    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
