The card I’m
sharing today features Rainy Mae from Some Odd Girl.
I needed a special
card for a friend who is having a milestone birthday and wasn’t overly sure what
I wanted to do. Had a look around some
challenges and saw at Hanna and Friends
the theme was to be inspired by a song.
Thinking about birthday wishes made me think about wishing upon stars
and that got the song Wish Upon a Star from Disney’s Pinocchio (I’m a sucker
for classic Disney movies) stuck in my head.
So then I had to do a starry card but not just any card, a light up
starry card. So here’s what it looks
like lit up, not a great photo but you can see the lights.
To make up the
starry night sky I first used a stencil and embossing ink to mark out my
stars. I then embossed these with white
embossing powder. I also added in the
sentiment from a Tim Holtz’s set, the perfect one to go with my starry wishes
theme. I used Distress Ink in various
colours to then ink up my background and finally spritzed with some Perfect Pearls
for the perfect shimmery starry sky. With
all my embossing I am entering my card in the current challenge at The Cat’s Pajamas.
Then I went on a
hunt for the perfect image to match and it was quite a hunt. I finally found the Some Odd Girl Mae, she
had the right expression, was looking up and with her upturned hand just seemed
like she was waiting to catch a falling star.
To add to the perfection she has a hairdo much like the recipient so it
was a match made in starry heaven!
Although I haven’t
actually added a birthday sentiment or indeed the milestone year this is for a
special birthday (shhh, it’s 50) so I am also entering my card in the birthday
challenge at 4 Crafty Chicks.
