It's all in the Stars


Over at this weeks PanPastelUk challenge they are asking to see 'stars'.  So I decided to have another play with my PaperArtsy paints and stamps and incorporated some of the fab technqiues the guest designers have been show casing over on the PaperArtsy blog.  I absolutely love this stamp from the LP #5 plate.  I used a #8 tag.


For this one I used a #10 tag which is much, much bigger but the image is huge!!  It's from the LP #10 plate.  

I can't begin to tell you how many colours of fresco paint I used to create the background.  I basically just kept layering them up until I got what I liked, then I sanded back.
