You’re a star Square Card

1

Create the galaxy background.

2

Trim the panel to an 11cm square, cover with an anti-static tool and heat-emboss the sentiments in white as shown.

3

Decorate the panel using silver star confetti and Nuvo Crystal Drops then layer onto a 12.5cm square and adhere to the card front using 3D foam pads.

4

Use a white gel pen to add faux stitching around the edge of the galaxy panel as shown to finish.

5

Create a galaxy background using Distress Oxide Ink. Select purple, pink and blue shades of Distress Ink to create the initial layer for the background.

6

Squash each inkpad onto a glass mat, add water and use as a paint to create a galaxy background. Use a paintbrush to apply the colour in bands, for lighter and dark channels.

7

Once the first layer is dry, use an ink-blending tool to apply deep blue Distress Oxide Ink and Black Soot Distress Ink. Apply more ink in some areas for a darker look as shown.

8

Tap a little water using a small brush and leave to dry. Repeat using Nuvo Aqua Shimmer for added sparkle and leave to dry.

9

For more prominent stars, flick watered-down white gesso onto the panel as shown. Leave to dry for 48 hours so the heat-embossing process will give a crisp finish.
