Remember the stars

Just another quick card before the weekend, in order to announce the newest challenge over at the Alphabet challengeblog. We're featuring the letter "Q" this fortnight, which may seem incredible hard at first, but what we'd like to see from you are projects featuring a "quote". Easy peasy, right? Show us your creations that include a quote/sentiment, which I'm sure will be something you can master.

For a little inspiration, I created a simple sympathy card. The background was actually a try for my first contribution as part of the DT back for the "navy blue" challenge. However, I thought the blue is more of a black-ish shade, which is why I've used another navy blue paper in the end. 

From the beginning, I wanted to pair the starry background with a calming quote, and I finally opted for this one which roughly translates as "In the dark of sadness shine the stars of remembrance". I printed it on white paper which I placed on a silver cardboard in the background.

To enhance the starry theme, I decided to place tiny pearls and star-shaped gemstones on a number of stars. In combination with the quote, it helped me to turn the astrology themed paper into a sympathy card. 

For a bit more stars, I decided to add a few shots from last winter. 

However, don't be fooled by what looks like the milky way - it's just the result of taking pictures of heavy snowfall using flash ;)
