We’re nearing the end of June challenges at CASE Study and it means that this week’s we’re also saying good bye and thank-you to Pamela for being a fantastic Muse. If you didn’t yet have a chance to draw inspiration from one of her cards and share it with us, now is your last chance! Here’s Pamela’s card that we’re CASE’ing this week:

I will be lucky if you manage to see my thinking process there. Oi!
It started with the idea of using my new Hero Arts stamps: Constellation Background for the soft backdrop and You Are a Star for a focal point. Then, following my craze for the also newly acquired Peerless Water Colors, I thought I’d give the background a watercolour wash in the shades of the night sky. I thought to myself, “you’ll have the star pop out nicely against it, if you gold emboss it”.
Well, not really. *rolls eyes*
I mean, the effect is cool none the less but the idea of a strong focal point against the soft background like in the Muse’s card, has vanished in the process. So there 🙂

I’m completely and utterly in love with the Peerless brand of watercolours. I have the Complete Edition Book but I will be getting one, if not both of the remaining sets. They’re all out of stock now at Simon Says Stamp, as they’ve been almost permanently for weeks (undoubtedly because of Jennifer McGuire’s enabling) but boy am I watching them closely! HA!
You can see the whole collection here.

I added a few Pretty Pink Posh Metallic Gold Stars sequins (SSS don’t seem to have stock at the moment but they do have silver ones) and bunched up some thread behind the gold embossed sentiment. As opposed to the photo styling with paint brushes, I used my trusty Aquash water brush to apply the colour to the background, for convenience of use.
