I turned him into a star fish on this birthday card. He's the smaller of the two. I used a Copic Multi-liner to add a few dots to match his starfish friend from Lawn Fawn's So Jelly stamp set. The shells and sentiments come from several Lawn Fawn sets and are all listed in the supplies below. The sand and water were created with LF stencils and Distress ink. I added Copics to shade in the sand.
We move from the water into the sky and now my little muse has become a shooting star! I heat embossed him and the sentiment in white. The galaxy was created with distress inks, water, and white acrylic paint for the little stars.
Supplies:
Stamps: LF Upon A Star, Super Star, So Smooth, So Jelly, Life is Good, On the Beach
Dies: MFT In and Out Stitched Rounded Rectangles
Stencils: LF Hillside
Ink: LF Clear, Jet Black, DI Salty Ocean, Tea Dye, Picked Raspberry, Blueprint Sketch, Chipped Sapphire
Copics: E31,33,35, RV00,21,23, BV00,01,02,20, B21, Y11,13,17,21,23, multi-liner .03
Other: LF White embossing powder, white acrylic paint

Brilliant cards!! I just love how you do the sand, it's so realistic!
ReplyDeleteYour beach and galaxy are both so real looking but let the stars be the "stars". Two cute cards for the Twofer.
ReplyDeleteI love how you used both the undersea world and the outer space world for your two amazing creations this month, Kara! They are both incredibly detailed and beautifully colored! Not too mention joyful, judging from the grin on my face as I'm soaking up all the fun elements! Keep well, my precious! xxoo Hugs, Darnell

ReplyDeleteStarfish ... what a brilliant idea, Kara ... they're so cute in their shades, sunning themselves on their private beach! That galaxy background is so rich and deep ... just the perfect spot for your sweet little shooting star to really shine! A brilliant twofer! Sending big hugs and bisous, Anita :)
ReplyDeleteI think I need to borrow your brain for a few days. I would have never thought to turn a little star into a little starfish! Clever girl!! You've not only given us the beach, Cornelia, you've given us the night sky too. That background you've given him is gorgeous. It really looks like something from way up thar in outer space! Hope you're feeling better by today, and are well on your way to normal! Take care and stay safe. xo Miss you. Bev
ReplyDeleteSuch cute cards with the star theme! A gorgeous night sky in lovely color! And, the beach scene card is so cute with the sunglasses! Two great cards, Kara!!
