There's just something about the night sky...especially when you are out in the countryside and you can just lie back and gaze into the depths without the distraction of street lighting! One of our favourite evenings when camping in the summer is spotting shooting stars.
I'm not sure I'd really like to live in this little shed [Stampers Anonymous J4-1164 Moving Up] high up amongst the stars, it looks a little rickety to me, but I love the idea of it.
I splodged some 'Weathered Wood' distress reinker on my pages then added some more blues by putting the ink on some cellophane then spraying it with a silver spray before stamping this onto my page. I stamped Jo Capper-Sandon's Text Stars [Stampotique] with distress ink directly onto the page then cut a mask and, using a stipple brush, added ink around the edge of each star. I love how this highlights them!
I added more stars stamped in Wild Honey distress ink onto white paper and cut out. The words are taken from Amy Wilson's Tall Word Collage [Stampotique] and again stamped in Wild Honey.
I'm entering this journal page into the Stampotique Designers' Challenge, which requires the use of 'masking' on your project :)
I love your scaffolding..it is like a gateway to the stars. I love all your ideas for applying inks and paint. Very inspiring, Sarah , as ever!!!!
