Magic Time

As we sit waiting for the impact of Dorian, I'm making stuff. We still have power, and we hope we don't lose it. Wish us luck!





This is how I made it:

I chose an approximately 5-inch square card blank in a dark blue. First, I stamped the star border (Paula Best) in Versamark embossing ink, covered it with detail gold embossing powder and heated it. Then, I stamped the moon image (Custer's Last Stamp) the same way. After that, I cut away the portion of the card below the star border. Next, I added a gold strip of card stock to the inside back of the card. Finally, I used a phrase I had in my stash, attached it to the gold card stock and adhered it to the card.

This is my second attempt. The first one didn't emboss well, so I used my embossing buddy (I think that's what it's called) and stamped the moon image making sure I got the dots all the way at the edges.
