For my card, I chose to go a sort of mixed media route! I create a watercolored background using a combination of the Liquid Color and Color Splash! I even stamped the stars with Color Splash by squirting the Color Splash onto my glass mat, pressing the star cluster into the color and then stamping! It resulted in a very cool, artsy uncontrolled watercolored background. But, let’s add some sparkle shall we? (All the supplies I used are linked at the end of this post).
I took a whole bunch of clear glitter and mixed it in with the modeling paste and then spread it over the entire background! It is so hard to capture the real sparkle of this card on camera so you will just have to trust me that this card sparkles like no tomorrow! So naturally, the sentiment choice was perfect. 🙂

Your card is unusual but really great. I never have the “guts” to do things like that. Too much of a control freak since I was a teacher and needed to always have no time for unusual things!
