More of Little Star

Good Morning, and what a lovely sunny weekend it's turning out to be! I have a couple more Little Star cards to share with you today. The first one is a simple layout with just the pretty matching papers matted with soft grey/lilac cardstock and a sumptuous pure silk ribbon as embellishment. I've added 3 stamped little stars to my digi image called 'out of the blue' as that corner was looking a bit empty and I couldn't decide on a text greeting. I've coloured with Copics, not many - E50, 51, 53 and R00 for Little Star, then G20, 40, 82 for green shades, RV91 & 93 for the soft lavender and Y0000, 000, 00 & 02 for the soft yellows. I used B60 as a shadow.

I just noticed a stray eyelash on my next card - ooops! This time I've used the cute Little Star flying high digi image, and again coloured with Copics. I used papers from Eline's baby designs at Cuddly Buddly and inked the edges with Aspen Mist Versamagic chalk ink. I've used the layout from the Flutterby Wednesday challenge blog, but not the optional green part of the challenge. And I can enter the Cupcake Craft Challenge for things up in the air, but again I've not done the optional green! Not many Copics for colouring in this one either - E50, 51, 53 and R00 on Little Star, then B41, 91 and the blender pen for the blue balloon, RV00, R81 & 83 for the pinks, and E41 & 44 for shadow. I've die cut a Marianne leaf branch then used Nellie's punch and emboss sets for the butterflies and poinsettia flowers. The white pearls are made with my Waco pearl maker pen.
