CAS Watercolour May 2020 Reminder - Night Sky

Hello friends.  Just a friendly reminder that there's time to play with the CAS Watercolour Challenge where we're looking for a NIGHT SKY card.  You can find all the details HERE.


I made another Brusho background because they work so beautifully for night time skies.  I used more of the Lamp Black Color Bursts for this background and just a touch of the Cobalt Blue and Purple Brusho Colours.


I used an older die to cut out the circle fence and bird in black cardstock and inset both the background and die cut into a white panel that I'd embossed with SU!'s Woodland embossing folder.  I had also sprayed the background with Iridescent Gold Glimmer Mist before adding it to my card so it really shimmers like all the stars on a clear night.  Here's a closer up for you...


My sentiment comes from SSS's Tiny Words stamp set and I figured this would be a great masculine birthday card.

I hope myself and the rest of the DT have inspired you to play along (HERE) with our Night Sky challenge...you have until the 24th to link up.

Thanks for stopping by today ... I love it when you do!

I love all the colors in the sky, Marcia. I may need to take lessons on using Brushoes. The embossing added lots of texture and all the tiny black borders add dimension. Great job all round, my friend.

Gorgeous night sky Marcia! Love the combination of the black, blue and purple. The gold shimmer mist really makes it shine! Wonderful scene your've created with your fence and bird dies. So perfect in a framed circle. And the dry embossing adds lots of dimension and depth. Awesome! xx
