another great sketch to challenge your creativity this week over at Scrapbook Challenges.
i have had a thing for stars lately...that being after my circle craze - shapes really are so versatile, so i loved doing this layout. i used some older pics of my dalmation Bailey...and still have a whole bunch to scrap of him.

and here's what i did with the sketch...i started off with white card stock and spritzed with brown ink to take away some of the intimidating whiteness. i then added a centre piece of patterned paper, rounded the corners and added some sewing around the edge. next i place my stars cut from various pieces of patterned papers and self-made textures using different supplies. some grunge board stars got a coating of gold paint dabber and glaze.

i added a star over the 'o' in my title for some dimension and interest. shapes inside of other shapes is a great way of adding interest and getting rid of those empty spaces.

texture created on my star using acrylic paint and sewing.

and diamantes for added colour.
