The Crafty Pad challenge

I am honoured to be a guest designer on The Crafty Pad this week. I won this honour by entering a challenge a couple of weeks ago or so.  I got to use and keep this great new stamp called Percy Stargazing.  The challenge is to follow the sketch shown above. Percy stargazing is available to buy from The Crafty Pad, and he comes with the star stamp too.

I stamped and embossed Percy then I filled the ice "cube" with some blue Papier Glass Finish gloss by Plaid.  Then I coloured Percy and cut him out.  I stamped the star stamp that comes with Percy Stargazing onto the blue metallic card with white Brilliance (can't find my white Stazon, did I imagine having some of that?), and that was the background for the stamp and the bigger background.  I turned the sketch on its side, added ribbon with gold stars, a white satin star, Cuttlebug cut corners and a Papermania chipboard greeting.

I then coloured Percy in lighter colours for a second attempt - bit too light perhaps?
