Party time

and the stars from Christmas baubles

The smallest crazy running stitched die 

and the O my stars stencil

This is what I got up to;

I made a galaxy background using distress oxide sprays on black card.

Using the stars from  Christmas baubles I gold heat embossed them across the background.

I have shared my hand made candles in my blog several times over the years. I make these in batches as they sell well in Dotty's. They are made from paper straws. I used 1 from my blue stash.

I die cut a rectangle from inky mop up card using the  smallest crazy running stitched die and adding star stenciling using the O my stars stencil and gold shimmer paste. I then edged the rectangle with black soot distress ink. 

I made a plaque using one the sentiments from Party time, again gold heat embossed and glued it underneath.

I then matted up my card. 

Here is my finished make

with a couple of close ups

and one final shot
