Good morning. If you are just visiting to see my card this post is very photo heavy so just scroll to the bottom. However if you would like to have a little feast for your eyes read on...
We saw so many wonderful sights at Disneyland Paris last week. There is just so much detail there and everything is fresh, clean and inspiring.
Even the entrance just filled us with joy. What is there not to love about this....
and yes just look at the colour of that sky!
What was wonderful was seeing Disney through the eyes of our darling 4 year old granddaughter Daisy. We took our our children to Disney in the 1990s and early noughties but they were older and I don't think we stepped into Fantasy Land. With our Daisy though, this was where we spent a lot of our time.
Most days we walked through the castle to Fantasy land. Upstairs is the most beautiful Sleeping Beauty story told in stained glass windows.
Today is my weekly Design Team inspiration for Visible Image. This week I chose to use another of the fab older sentiments which works perfectly for my post today.
This stamp has such a unique typeface. I have often used the "eye" as a partner for this stamp but I decided I wanted to showcase this great sentiment all by itself.
I had the idea to stamp the sentiment on clear acetate "window" and then create a very textured starry sky.
This is my Distress Oxide starry sky
To add some sparkly stars I used sparkle medium through the
cosmic skies stencil.
I used a clear based one as the inks soak into the medium and take up a wonderful glow...
I made my "window" and used little star brads in each corner to attach my sentiment.
Here is my finished card.
In real life it has a very textured sparkle, just like the sky at night twinking.
