My card is one I made for my brother's birthday last month but haven't put on the blog so thought I would do that today.
I used the resist technique for the background. I inked the large (very old) wooden rubber stamp with Versamark ink then embossed with white detail powder. I first used an anti static pad and took the card to the stamp as it is such a large stamp. I then inked over the whole piece with various blue Distress Inks then wiped over the top with a baby wipe to remove any ink from the embossing. The stars were die cut, the first three are from a free die set that came with a magazine and the two tiny ones are punched. The sentiment is from a little clear set, not sure what make, and again embossed with white detail powder.
I would like to enter the following challenges:
The Craft Barn - Blue or Blues
Pixie's Snippets Playgrouned - use snippets (my stars and sentiments are all from card in my bits box)
bizzy Becs - Anything Goes
These are all fab blogs, worth a visit for sure!
Thank you for popping by - I appreciate it so much! Take care. Christine xxx

I'm sorry you have lost your friend so soon, Chris. On top of you both not feeling well, it's understandable that you didn't feel like being on the computer. Thank you for sharing the fabulous card you made for your brother! You are so sweet to make cards that make the recipients feel like stars! You are both in my heart and my prayers! Love and hugs, Darnell
What a lovely card Chris - the background is so perfectly topped off with those stars and the sentiment.
Really sorry to hear about your friend, I've lost friends through the same dreadful disease and it's a real shaker for sure. Take care of you and your hubby, wishing you happier days.
Hugs

Fab masculine card Chris.
So sorry for your loss.
It was really good to meet you at Darnell's party last month, hope to meet up again soon
xx
Such a beautiful starry card
Cheers

Your background came out really nice. I'm just not able to heat emboss like the rest of y'all. I've always got to have a big glob of schmootz somewhere. Yours is awesome! Flawless!
What a great card you made for your brother. So sorry you lost your friend so soon. Hope you feel well enough to craft again soon.xx
I know I have said sorry already but I am truly sorry about your friend Chris, it is totally understandable that it is taking you time to get back to blogging. The card you made for your brother is lovely, I really love the blues and the resist technique, it looks wonderful! Thinking of you and you know where I am if you need to 'chat'. Big hugs, Anne xx
So sorry to hear that you have lost a dear friend. Hope this hot weather has not made conditions harder for you to deal with.
Your card for your brother is a great masculine style. I don't do much heat embossing as I either get too much on a card or so little I might just have will not bothered.! Yours is perfect and I like the blues. Hugs Mrs A.
I'm so sorry for the loss of your good friend, Chris ... it's so hard when it happens sooner than expected. Give yourself the time you need to get back to crafting ... we'll all still be here when you're ready. Fabulous card for your brother ... those blended blue hues are gorgeous over the white embossing! Hugs, Anita :)
Thank you for sharing your card with us at Bizzy Becs for our Anything Goes Challenge. I am sure your brother was delighted to receive his card. Lovely embossing and terrific background.
So sorry about your friend, Chris.
I really like the script background on your birthday card and it really sets the stars off well.
Take care, Jx
