Charisma Cardz #19

My first time with Charisma Cardz! their current challenge is titled......
'A Star is Born'
this was a perfect opportunity to use one of my free digi downloads from Dustin Pike, i only wish i could draw like him!...............I re sized Dustin's image so that it would fit inside the centre portion of this Ornare template............having recently found these again whilst sorting through my stash, i'd forgotten how therapeutic it was pricking through all the holes!!!

Image.... Dustin Pike free download
Papers.... Basic Grey 'Marrakech'
Ornare pricking template
Watercolour pencils
Inkssentials pen
wooden & crystal stars from stash

See you soon...... ;-D

  3. I hope it is therapeutic!!! It is gorgeous!!! Well worth all the effort, it surely made a beautiful card. I may have to look for these templates, what a great look and it surely would be therapy with a pin.
