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:

  4. 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

  29. 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
