As always Simon Says Stamp will be giving away $50 voucher to shop at the fabulous Simon Says Stamp Store
Don't forget to pop by to see what Simona and the rest of the DT have made, awesome eye candy!! ;-)
I made a set of ATC's using a selection of the new Tim Holtz Distress Oxide Inks and a new Simon Says Stamp 'You're A Star' Craft Die
I started by pieces of watercolour paper into Salty Ocean, Black Soot and Seedless Preserves Distress Oxide Ink and when they were dry I sewed around the edges.
next came the fiddly bits. I die cut the 'You're A Star' out of the middle. I then used a Falling Star Stencil, white embossing paste and a sprinkling of glitter over the top
I then die cut again using black yardstick and popped all of the pieces in. I made 12 of these so after about 5 I was wishing that I had just glued the sentiment onto the top ;-)
I used silver and white glitter for the stars, very sparkly irl ;-)
and I added a few silver star sequins
Thanks for looking! I hope you will all join in and have as much fun as we did making these little arty miniatures :-)

perfect background and colors for the star theme-brilliant!
Wonderful!!!!
Very nice cards thanks for sharing!!!!
Oh yeah! It's so hard to make only one ATC, right? I couldn's limit myself neither. I love your set. The oxides you combined here are amazing, great mix of deep blue and purple. The embossed stars are so sweet! Can't wait to see it in real <3 Hugs, Marzena
Love your beautiful ATCs, Lols. The colors on the background are fantastic! :)
Fabulous inky backgrounds, and I love the stitched borders and little touches of glitter.

These are so pretty Lols! I love the fine stitched border and the glittery stars, and everything else.
The photo does not give justice to how amazing are these ATC. One of these just reached my home and it makes my heart melt.
I love you Lorraine, you are a constant reminder of how beautiful people are. <3
As a proud owner of one of these cards, I can honestly say...they are just beautiful and something I will treasure forever! The sentiment is perfect and when you see them in real life, they are just full of sparkle and shine! I LOVE them Lols and thank you so much for thinking of me and for your love... <3
yeah...how lucky am I that one of these beauties arrived in the mail yesterday and wow it's even more gorgeous in real life...thank you so much...hugs kath xxx
These are so lovely! My friends and I would always tell each other that we were stars when we were in high school (whether or not it was true :) so I really love this sentiment. The backgrounds you created look incredible and match the star-theme brilliantly!
These are so fun, Lols! I received mine today! Thanks so much! In real live it's even prettier! The background is amazing and love the black touches like the die cut and the stitching! Hugs, Sandra
I agree with Zoey! The photo does not give justice to your fabulous Atc's! I've received mine during my holidays and I found it yesterday! Love love love every single detail, colors, words and the stars are fantastic! Thank so much Lorraine... you're a star! Barbara
