Well, on to this weeks challenge, and the theme is 'Stars & Stripes'. After rumaging through my Penny Black stamp collection, I discovered that I only had one stamp (Cat on the moon) with a star on it, so that became my starting point. I coloured the image with watercolour pencils and used some pearly paints on the moon and stars, and mounted it with my new Nestabilities. The striped element is the paper by DCWV (Glitter Mat Stack), and I finished it all off with a few confetti stars, and a silver embossed sentiment (from Penny Black 'Party Critters' set).
What a stunning card Helen - love this stamp (another for my wish list LOL!) and love the way you have used it with the glittery paper and black/silver colours.
