Hello Monday, my friends! Once again, we have a new challenge for you at Simon Says Stamp Monday Challenge - STARRY NIGHT. I was inspired by all the beautiful stars that are visible in the clear night sky, as well as Vincent Van Gogh.
I headed to my art journal and added greens for my forested area...
Then I used the abstract triangle stencil to create tree like shapes.
Blues for the night sky...
and this beautiful swirly stencil which reminds me of Van Gogh's night sky.
Earth and sky...
I embossed the mini stars, added silver highlights, and hand lettered the words.
In the forest, I stamped the trees, then added detail with watercolor, and added the dancing ballerina and words. Wouldn't you like to dance in the treetops?
Starry, starry night...
Come join us for our Starry Night challenge! I'm looking forward to your creation, and remember, one lucky participant will be randomly drawn to win a $50 voucher from our generous friends at Simon Says Stamp!

Awesome! I love how you mixed the patterns on the blue and green parts of background. This technique is so cool, I always forget to try it, ugh. Love the cute stars and the modern flowers on the bottom. Hugs, Macarena.
