Friends are like stars...

I got a new stencil and stamp set of coordinating stars and could not wait to play with it in my art journal.. I also got some Lindy's stamp gang ink sprays.. When I buy something to try out, I always buy it in blue, as its the colour I use the most.. So I sprayed my background in 2 different blues, one has sparkle its so pretty. Then used Tim Holtz distress stain and a blending tool for the background stars.. Grabbed France Papillon's design cube as it has little stars, so stamped them in black.. Then I went back to the stencil and outlined the stars through the stencil onto a Gelli plate acrylic paint print that I had been wanting to use.. I cut them out and stuck them onto my background.. Then well if you follow me you know what I always do next is the fun part, the doodling around the edges of the stars and adding the white Signo pen lines.. I also added little white dots here and there.

I wanted to write something, I nearly printed it out on my computer and that little voice in my head said no, its practice time.. So out came the pen and I wrote the Quote.. Good friends are like stars you don't always see them but you know they're always there. I just had to sew around the edge of it. It does not look finished to me now until I sew around the edges.. 

So to all my friends and followers this one is for you.. :)

Have a great day
Sandy :)
