Freshly Made Sketches #8 - Joy to the World

Hi there,
Today's post is for the Freshly Made Sketches Challenge this week.  I embossed the Image with White Embossing Powder and coloured it with Perfect Pearls and my Aqua Painter.  I set the Perfect Pearls with a light spray of Hairspray.  Love the effect of the Perfect Pearls on the Night of Navy card, the colour is so intense and shiny.  I matted the main image with Whisper White to make it stand out from the rest of the card and mounted it on Dimensionals. I dry embossed the Night of Navy background and then coloured the dots with my Signo Gel Pen to carry the star theme through a bit more. 

This card was awarded a Perfect Princess Award this week at Freshly Made Sketches.

Supplies:
Stamps:  S/U's City of David
Card and Papers:  Night of Navy, Whisper White, DSP Unknown Gift from a Friend
Ink:  Versamark, Stazon Black, Signo White Gel Pen
Embellishments: Perfect Pearls Powder, Star Brad
Tools: Big Shot, Polka Dot EB Folder, Scallop Edge Border Punch, Small Oval Punch, Spellbinders Classic Oval and Scalloped Oval Nestabilities, Embossing Buddy, White Embossing Powder, Heat Tool, Aqua Painter, Hairspray, Computer and Printer, Dble Sided Tape, Dimensionals, Mat Pack and Piercing Tool
Thanks' for stopping by today.
Hugs,
Cat's Ink Siggy

  3. Wow, Susan. I am a big fan of blues and you really showed them off on this one. You did a perfect job with your heat embossing; mine never comes out that clean. Just really love it! Thanks for joining us at Freshly Made Sketches and sharing your beautiful work.

  7. This is stunning and I've never really looked at that set all that closely until now. I may have to get it after your fabulous card! I love how you used the EF and then colored the dots w/your white pen - genius!
