Searching through my stash of patterned papers, I found this background from a Recollections paper pad named Sky & Sea. Cutting down a section of sky paper, I then stamped images from a My Hero Arts August 2017 kit. Using white pigment ink and white embossing powder and then a bit of gold embossing powder for the swirl of stars, die cut clouds and the larger star “balloon” to complete my card. The card was completed but the clean up was only beginning. While stamping on a messy desk, I accidentally spilled the gold embossing powder onto the stamps. Yikes, off to the sink for a stamp bath. Hopefully the clean stamps will help with their stickiness, too!

My card will be shared with:

Love Those Pretty Papers August 2026 Challenge This month’s optional theme is Look to the skies ( Galaxy, Lightning, Sunshine, Clouds, Stars) Themes keep me motivated so I played along with a galaxy and star theme.

Thanks for stopping in for a peek. I appreciate you and your time. Take care, keep cool and make it a great day!
