Twinkle Twinkle Little Star
Hello bloggers! I just had to have another play with alcohol inks and the Silver Sparkle Alcohol ink card from Ranger (I love this stuff!) I used Sunshine Yellow, Valencia Orange, Enchanted and Red Pepper Alcohol inks and added them in stripes to my silver sparkle card. Next I used the Pierced Star die set and cut two of the sizes randomly into a piece of white card. I added mounting foam to the back of the piece and attached it over the silver sparkle alcohol inked card. I cut the Twinkle Twinkle Little Star sentiment in black and added it to the backing piece which I cut in white. I attached it with mounting foam to the lower corner of the card. The card was completed with white mats and layers. The finished dimensions are 7 1/2" x 9 1/4" in size. All for now, Sue x
A lovely way to showcase your star dies with the alcohol inks, blue inks for a boy or male birthday and so it goes. Lovely. Hope everyone is making the most of this lovely Bank Holiday weather, most unusual to have a warm, sunny, dry bank holiday. Love to all xx
Morning Sue. Wow now I can see it in Blue with Santa weaving through the stars Thank you. A brilliant card thank you for the inspiration. Take care Kitty.
Morning Sue and all Wilsonettes, with a twinkle in my eye, i love this one, the glittery effect in the background looks amazing, and the gorgeous stars, you can give this card for any occasion just with a different sentiment, brilliant.
Stay safe, healthy and happy, hugs, June Smith xxx

Hi Sue. What a good idea to cut the stars into the card to show whatever you choose to put behind them through the aperture. I am sure this design could be used for many occasions and for any age group.
It's you Sue Wilson that's our star.
