First, I cut a piece of black card stock to 8.5" x 3.5." Next, I took the Shooting Star Stencil and lined it up on the bottom of my card panel. I used the Glistening Snow Chroma Glaze and my Stencil Pal to spread the glaze over the stencil. (Usually I used Pixie Spray to hold my stencil when using glazes but because this stencil is not as delicate as others, I just used some low tack tape to hold it in place.) One tip I have, is that I have found that if I use my Stencil Pal and I only pull the glaze in one direction, I have less bleeding under the stencil.
Next, I carefully removed my stencil and cleaned it off. Then, I rotated my stencil and placed it towards the top of my card panel being careful to not touch my wet glaze. After spreading more Glistening Snow Chroma Glaze, I again carefully removed the stencil and set my panel aside to dry overnight. I wanted my stencil to be in two different patterns so when I turned it when placing it on my panel. This made it look almost like a star spiral pattern.
The next day, I placed my dry panel in my splat box and sprayed it with the Pearl Shimmer Mist. When I removed the card panel, I accidentally wiped some of the wet drops and they ended up looking like shooting stars. I took a cloth and wiped a few more to make more "trails" for some stars. Once the spray dried, I used an antistatic powder tool to the panel and stamped the Shoot for the Stars sentiment (from the stamp set from with the same name) with Brutus Monroe Embossing Ink. I covered the sticky ink with Alabaster Embossing Powder and heat set it.
My card base is made from a white heavy card stock that measures 8.5" x 7." I scored it at 3.5" on the short side. After folding and creasing my card base, I attached my card panel to the front of the to finish my card.
