Count the Stars in the Sky

Photo Details

Poster: Covington Crafter

Cathy's seeing stars! Here's my sample for her challenge, You're a Star. Hope you'll join in.

I stamped and masked the couple then used a fine tip masking pen for stars. Sponged the sky and ground with a combination of dye and pigment inks. Removed the masking fluid and colored in the couple with a black marker to create the silhouette. Stamped additional tree branches and colored the moon with a pale yellow marker. Added some additional stars with a white gel pen. Stamped the sentiment on vellum, added a star brad and silver thread to complete. The inside reads, "If you want to know how much I love you." Surprised my DH with a sweet note made just for him. TFL
