Seeing stars at Christmas

It's just 2 weeks til Christmas now...we managed to get the trees up at the weekend and some of the decorations. Billy is still busy typing his post! My wreathes are up, this is the one on my studio door

 I also have these sweet bird lights which I bought in the sale after Christmas last year.

 They look all starry inside, so cute!

It is time for my 2nd design team piece to hopefully inspire you to join in with our "Stars" themed December challenge over at Country View.
 So obviously we would like to see all your crafting projects featuring stars. All the details can be found here
I decided to use my newest love in the stamping world, stamps by the delightful Tracy Easson who I had the pleasure to meet recently at a Country View Workshop. I used her
Star gazer set Morty Bottoms and Star gazer set Betsy Bottoms . I used a distress inky mop up piece of watercolour card and stamped Morty in place. I then added some more blue ink.

I then coloured him in with Zig watercolour pens.

 I also added some gold pen to the stars and his tie.

I stamped some of the words from the star gazer set onto card and cut them out. I also stamped the jar from that set and added crackle accents to it as I thought the little star would be trying to burst out to shine! I added some extra stars too.
Then I put everything together.

 Here is my Star Gazer

With a couple of close ups;

I would like to enter my card into the following challenges;
