Carried Away

 

 Happy Sunday!

I needed a few staples from WPlus9 like black cardstock and my favorite red cardstock, Cupids Bow.  While I was adding these to my cart I decided to throw in a few stamp sets and dies that have been on my wish list {and then I'd get the added bonus of free shipping ;)}  One of those stamp sets was this great basic,

Borders and Backgrounds 3.

 

 

I stamped the star border twice with Versamark ink and heat embossed them with clear embossing powder.  I sponged on some Ocean Drive dye ink to create my starry sky.  I started heavy with the color at the top and faded the color out towards the bottom.  I die cut the circle from this sponged panel and inserted it into a white piece with the same die cut opening.  I also die cut the elephant from the sponged panel.  I positioned the die so that the elephant was cut from a portion of the paper that shows the subtle color transition from darker to lighter.

 

 

Hope you're having a great day!
