For the background: I punched stars and used them as a mask. Next I simply pressed (fairly lightly) the ink pad on to the white cs. Voila! A starry background!
I was at the Dollar tree store yesterday, and this roll of Decorative Mesh, another sparkly metallic ribbon, as well as a roll of burlap-like duct tape -just jumped into my card. The mesh will be a little harder to use than I anticipated as it ravels very easily and will take a bit of effort to attach, but I think I will be able to make good use of it for a special added touch. The image, which I watercolored, and sentiment are from QKR Stampede.
