Believe

Hi!   I'm back with another card using Quietfire Design stamps.  I haven't done this layout in a while - it's very simple but effective I think.  Here I masked a panel to do a nighttime sky - tried masking some rays to imitate moonbeams... or star beams here I guess.  I die-cut the stars out of gold and silver (reverse side) metal foil sheets and embossed the gorgeous word "Believe" in silver.  Then I used my handy dandy white gel pen to add stars, maybe snowflakes... Thanks for looking!

      I don't have a tutorial handy - sorry! But I did find this called the pillow box background that is similar. You want to mask off the larger section like I did for the night scene. To do the moonbeams, I moved my masking tape in a radial fashion instead of parallel to the previous area. Does that make sense? Let me know if it works for you!

    Hi Diana, I know this is almost exactly a year after you posted but I made some cards like this last year and have just demonstrated it a couple of times last month. I did a blog post to help someone who hadn't quite 'got it' and did credit you with the idea, many thanks. :)
