To create my background I:
- Used sponge daubers to blend Chipped Sapphire and Peacock Feathers Distress Ink together on watercolor paper
- Spritzed with water and heat set
- Diluted a bit of Metallic Pearl White Acrylic Paint with water and splashed it over the surface
Inside I added another stary night piece with a Repeat Impressions sentiment embossed in white.

So adorable, and you had me at the blue shades!

I'm in love with your background on this card, Esther. Those flicks of silver shimmer are a gorgeous touch. Lovely coloring on the shepherd boy too.
This is beautiful! So sweet and the background is fabulous! Glad you shared it at Fusion!
Gorgeous background & adorable image, Esther!
The shepherd boy is one of my favorite RI stamps and love how you have made this beautiful card - the night sky is beautiful. Great job on the challenge
This is so gorgeous!!! That background is absolutely stunning! And as several Rock Stars have mentioned, this is one of my favorite stamps and I always think it works perfectly with the sentiment you used, too. Love the addition of the silver; it really pops against the blues.
