Bronze stars

Hi crafters. I made this card for the Simon says Stamp Monday challenge which has a theme of stars. I started with an old kraft background which had distress oxide stamping on it which I didn’t like. I brushed over this with acrylic paints in Payne’s grey, dark blue, brown and rose gold. I went over that with crackle medium. I then sprayed with blue and charcoal sprays but I couldn’t see the cracks very well so I also rubbed silver paint across it. I stamped a Darkroom door gum tree on this and embossed with Simon says Stamp rose gold embossing powder. This came out looking like a rich bronze colour on the background. I used some star stamps from Your Next Stamp, Technique Tuesday and woodblock stamps to stamp the sky and embossed them with the same rose gold powder. I decided to emboss a sentiment from Funky Fossil The quick brown fox set with Navy SSS powder. The card is quite glossy and textured.


Thanks for visiting,
Christine
