Stars for Guys, a Winter Sky, and Birthday Horses

I've been on a roll with making cards this week, mostly Christmas, but did have to do a birthday one.  Challenges really help inspire me so thank you to all the challenge organizers out there!

For 52 Christmas Card Throwdown "Use a Stencil" and Cardz 4 Guys "Stars":

I stencilled the arc of stars with silver glitter embossing paste on black cs, then layered the white die cut on top once the paste was dry.  A very simple card to make!

For AAA Cards "Skies, Galaxies, Planet":

I created a wet on wet night sky with two shades of blue watercolour paint on watercolour paper that I first painted with just water. When dry, I splattered with white acrylic paint. I added a die cut of snowy trees (cut from white shimmer cs) and a stamped sentiment, then popped the panel up on fun foam on a matching white shimmer card base.

And last, AAA Birthday "Animals":

It's for a special friend who loves horses and the colour pink.  And the sunflowers are perfect for her autumn birthday!  Stamped and watercoloured, bordered with pink cs, a pink sentiment, and a few die cut pink stars.
