Punched the star out using a 1 3/4″ circle punch.
Sponged Cajun Craze ink around the edges.
Colored Cajun Craze marker on some of the points.
Let the marker dry and then added an additional layer of Cajun Craze marker on a few of the points.
Using a Blender pen, added some Cajun Craze marker to one of the points on the left side of the star.
Colored over the darkest points on the left side of the star one more time using a Cajun Craze marker.
Cut a 4″ x 5.25″ piece of DSP from the Soho Subway DSP pack and stamped using a stamp from the Lacy and Lovely stamp set using Stazon Jet Black ink.
Cut (2) 3/4″ x 4″ strips of So Saffron card stock. Stamped 3 small stars on each using Cajun Craze ink. Sponged Cajun Craze ink around the edges of the card stock.
Added Basic Black Candy dots to the strips.
Stamped one of the Gorgeous Grunge stamps a few times on the paper using Stazon Jet Black ink.
Used another one of the Gorgeous Grunge stamps with Stazon Jet Black ink.
Sponged Cajun Craze ink around the edges.
Added a 4.25″ x 5.5″ piece of Basic Black card stock and a Whisper White card base.
Added a squiggly line using the fine tip of a Basic Black marker through all of the small stars.
