I usually write a post at night but for this post I am writing it during the day which is kind of ironic because the theme of the AAA Cards Blog is to create a star scene. I think this card turned out so well.. Here it is, I hope you enjoy it as much as I do..

| Simple yet a very effective watercolor sky. Black became a dominate color but still has an air of lightness. |

| Sending this card to:AAA Cards: Challenge #43-Starry Night |

| Pillars of Creation Source |
How to:
- Cut and scored my white CS to 4.25" x 5.5"- A2 size
- Cut watercolor paper smaller then the width of the base but leaving the same height.
- Wet paper in various areas and added color. Continued this process with multiple colors. Let it dry.
- Added sentiment using VersaMark Ink then heat embossed white.
- Added white 'stars' with a white gel pen.
- Adhered the watercolor panel to the CS panel.
- Added a black strip for balance.
- Punched out stars in various sizes then placed them on the card.
Well that is it for me today.. I hope all of you in blog-land are doing well.. Take care and please feel free to leave a comment good, great, or otherwise.. Thank you for stopping by..
Take Care,
Shawna

Absolutely stunning! And I love the colours and how they've mixed together - all that dark with hints of pink and yellow. I'm totally smitten! Thanks for sharing at AAA Cards.
Such a sky I am seen while once on the village, but in the distance was visible the glow of the city. Deep black intertwined with the urban glow red, and on this a lot of wonderful, glittering stars. The night sky is a book of mystery and love them. Thanks for this wonderful card, Shawna!

Takie niebo widziałam będąc kiedyś na wsi, ale w oddali widać było łunę miasta. Głęboka czerń przeplata się z czerwienią miejskiej łuny, a na tym sporo cudownych, błyszczących gwiazd. Nocne niebo jest księgą tajemnicy i uwielbiam je. Dzięki za tę wspaniałą kartę, Shawna!
