Hello, it's Connie here with you today, sharing a starry night birthday wishes card.
I wish I had a stamp that said Wish upon a Star, I think that would have went better with this, and after I had the card all done I thought I could have done a sentiment on my computer for it, but there is always next time, right :)
My background was done using the Memory Box, Starry night background die. I cut it out twice, once in the blue and then again using DCWV Foil paper in silver, so that I could inlay them in the stars that pop out. Next I cut out the Impression Obsessions, City Landscape layer dies there are two dies in the set, one I cut from a gray that had a texture look to it and then the background one I cut from black cardstock.
Here is a close up picture of the background. I love how it cuts and embosses so you get cut outs of the stars and also embossed stars.
Instead of adding back in all those tiny dots that cut out I added Diamond Stickles in those holes to give it more shimmer. Lastly I added the sentiment stamp from Gina Marie stamps, Birthday words stamp set.
Here are the dies used in this card (links above in the description)

ReplyDeleteWhat a pretty card! How cool is that, that the die embosses and die cuts at the same time! Oh, the things I miss when I'm skimming through... Awesome card!!
ReplyDeleteFabulous creation Connie! Thanks for sharing how awesome this background die is to use. I have it in my stash but hadn't used it yet ... (guess what I'm creating with today! LOL) Great job!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful starry background and I adore that cityscape! This is awesome!!!
ReplyDeleteI had been looking for a city scape die and this one looks great -- you get two in the set; that makes the work so much easier. I also love that star background. Thank you for sharing these dies. It's always nice seeing the dies in use and how they look IRL. Great card!
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful card Connie. Love your card.
ReplyDeleteOh wow, look at that background just spectacular.
