Star of Wonder

Hi everyone. Back with more homework from my stenciling class. The class is now finished, but I have lots of technique that I haven't gotten to yet. Today's card uses the stencil for adding embossing paste, and then covering the paste with embossing powder while it's still wet. Once everything is dry, the embossing powder is heated until it melts. Love the look of these raised stars for the backdrop.

I used the sketch from CAS(E) this sketch #61 for my card today (it is one of my favorites layouts and I use it A LOT!) :)

I added a large gold foil star for the focal with a star center of DP and a red rhinestone for a little color. Some gold cording and Merry die-cut from gold foil finishes the card. I LOVE gold! I started using it a lot on my Christmas cards last year.

I'll be back tomorrow with more "homework". For now, I'm in my studio playing and trying to stay warm as there are big, gaping holes in my house right now. Our windows are being replaced. It all started yesterday (and went very smoothly) ... so hopefully it will all be done by the end of tomorrow. For now sweaters and more sweaters :)

Edited to add: Just found out that this qualifiess for the Moxie Fab Challenge (Consellations: Trendy Star Power Challenge) - thanks Bridget!

Loll
