Toni asked us to use shine, gloss, glaze and/or sheen for the WT today. Mine would be more in the shimmer/sheen category with the sprays that I used(and which of course you can't see) and an edging of silver paint.
I used modeling paste with a stencil for my bg. I added TH colors next with a sponge dauber...it coated the modeling paste stars too, but I found a damp tissue cleaned them. Proceeded to add the sprays and silver edging. Nothing unusual about the rest.

Sallie, this is just precious. First your coloring of the image is wonderful as usual, BUT I love the technique you used for the BG. So much so, I just went out and bought some modeling paste. Must give this a try :-). If it does not work well for me, guess you will be getting more modeling paste - lol.

Sallie, this is just the sweetest card. The modeling paste stars are awesome..they turned out so clean and sharp...that is hard to do with stencils and modeling paste. I love the slerping baby and the colors you used. Just beautiful.

This is one of those magical cards you wish you could see IRL! Your stenciling work ROCKS and that is the sweetest idea to put the image with the moon and stars....A HOME RUN dear one....Faved and pinned!

There is nothing so precious as a sleeping baby. I love the scene, and think shimmer was the perfect way to go. I can see the sliver edging and I'm just lovin' it! One of the first songs I taught our little grandson was twinkle, twinkle little star. Oh how I love that boy (she smiles). Lovely card, Sallie.

Sallie, this is so fabulous! Your starry background is stunning - the shimmer must be great IRL. I love the silver edging and the beautiful shade of blue you used. It's the most perfect backdrop for the baby in the moon.
