I have had this image on my desk because, for October, I am trying to use at least four of my older Stampavie stamps. I thought I could work this one in with Jacqueline's Trash Cancer challenge.
T - Textile Texture ef
R - Rub-on luster wax
A - Animals, and maybe even Astronomy since they are star-gazing ;-)
S - Stickles and Stars, Sakura Stardust pen
H - Hedgehog
Image stamped on Bristol board and coloured with pencils. I used a gold pen on the stars, and then added clear Stickles. The moon is done with yellow pencil and a white gel pen, and I added Sakura Stardust sparkle to the star trails.
For the layer under it, I sponged white card heavily with Chipped Sapphire and Dusty Concord distress inks, then embossed, and then rubbed with luster rub-ons to give it some sheen. Both it and the image panel are edged with Stickles.
I love how my word looks, but it was hard to photograph. I used double-sided adhesive on thin chipboard to cut the Serendipity word die, then burnished gilding flakes into it. I put it back into the die and ran it through the BS to tidy stay bits of gilding from the edges, and then added 3 layers of UTEE.
Took forever coming up with what to use as a base, and in the end went with pearlescent white card.

Such a sweet image. Your lettering looks pretty from here so I can only imagine it being even more beautiful in real life. Thanks for playing in my challenge and for participating in HYCCT!
