Hi there, Elena here! I'm showing off a card I made with In my Heart
and the new Starburst Creative Cut.
I always thought the little boy looked like he was praying, and I love the sentiment from the same set. I die-cut the starburst cover plate and nestled the sentiment into the space between the stars.
I connected the sentiment to the boy below by way of a hanging star (from the set Splendid.)
To make the sky look a little hazy, (after sponging and rubbing on the distress inks for the sky color,) I took an eraser and started to lightly remove some of the color. I love the effect that it gave!
I mounted the coverplate on foam squares to the card base, so that the yellow paper I adhered to the base would show through the starry peepholes. For a last touch, I added some of the cut-out stars - starry confetti is my new fave.
Thanks for stopping by!
♥.
