I had this idea floating around my head before my stamp set arrived. I was excited to get busy creating it and seeing how it look for real. I love it! I've created "shine" in a couple different ways: glitter paper, shimmer brush and glitter gel.
I started by making a background with the Glitter Gel and a palette knife. I just smeared it across the cardstock to create the look of a beautiful, starry night.
The angel and cloud were colored with markers adding just a touch of color. The angel is popped up with a bit of foam tape and all the images were painted with a Clear Shimmer Brush.
The final step was to frame with card front with some Ballerina Glitter paper. It has just a hint of pink to it and works perfectly with the angel colors.
