Reach for the Stars


 Bit of a mad panic going on - off to Whitby today to meet up with the family and friends for Dave's birthday.  We're ssing the brother-in-law, who has also had a birthday and I have lost his card!!!  SO in a mad panic I have knocked one up this morning - colouring not what I would really like, and I didn't have time to search for papers - so a grubby WoW was in order!!!
The image is a LOTV one, I embossed the cardstock with a gears folder and then distressed everything with vintage photo ink.  I cut the stars out using my nesties, and wrote part of the sentiment and stamped the rest using an alphabet set i have (really don't like the r!!).  Finally some hessian lace to add a bit of texture ... done, just in time to get the girls and go!!

Challenges:
Lili's little fairies - white with a hint of ... brown
Cute Card Thursday - letters and numbers
DutchDare - CAS
Do you stack up - scallops
My mums Craft Shop - stars
I lOve Promarkers - masculine card
Fabulous Friday - embossing

See now you're making life complicated! A grubby WOW card?! I'd do that and it would look awful. I love this though.
