Heart 2 Heart Challenge, week 3

This week, we had to follow a sketch for the challenge. To see the sketch, look here:

Here is my project:


I am making a small 3 three binder for our neighbor's birthday. His 4th birthday is a little ways away, but I thought I would start early. I am using a Close To My Heart My Creations 3- ring binder, the Stardust paper pack, and Dimensional Elements Stars. The ribbon on the front is our White Daisy Grosgrain that I hand stitched with dark blue embroidery floss.



The large star was sponged with Topiary ink and then stamped with a background stamp and embossed with silver pearl embossing powder. The medium star was sponged with moonstruck ink and then I made the stitches with our new Stardust Glitz Glitter Glue. The small star was sponged with honey ink and then painted with Create-a-Shade pearl paint.



I liquid glassed the "Carl" which was stamped with our Cocktail alphabet.
Thanks for looking!
