After getting craft stamper magazine and the freebie star stamp the idea really began to take shape, but I wasn't sure exactly what would work, so I tested out the idea on an ATC.
The background is baltic blue fresco finish paint, spattered and stamped with white and black acrylic (inspired by the fab work of Anika - if you haven't seen her blog before, check it out). I also sprayed it with a turquoisy colour perfect pearl and rubbed with some turquoise metallic rub-on stuff.
I stamped the star image on a book page and cut them out. The birds were cut using the Tim Holtz movers and shapers die and outlined in black pen to match the stars. I also stamped little stars in wild honey distress ink and outlined in pen before cutting out. I glued them all onto the ATC card with multi medium.
I liked the look so I did a simplified version on the the light pull. No idea if this will really stand up to use in a steamy bathroom, but there's a big stick of dowling in the garage if I need to make another :0).
Have to say I love that star stamp so I also made this quick card, colouring with promarkers and layering with some fab spotty paper from Prima. I like the design but, was a little impatient with witing for ink to dry so it's a bit smudgy (might have to redo it and be more patient this time).
