Background
I started by dry embossing the Wishing Stars 3D embossing folder on dark blue cardstock. Then I used some Nuvo drops to highlight the stars. Next I ink blended on the background with Distress Oxides in Black Soot, Villainous Potion and Shaded Lilac. When that was dry I mixed some no-bleed white paint with water and splattered it on.
Die Cutting
Die cut all the pieces according to the cut list above. The Graphic 45 cardstock I used is no longer on Amazon. But there are other, similar 8″ by 8″ paper packs there, e.g. Sunshine on My Mind. \
I edged all the green die cuts with Pinkfresh Studio Ink in Sage. Then I did the same with most of the cream cardstock.
My pink pearlized cardstock is from Tonic. I created a gradient of pinks by ink blending with Pinkfresh Studio Inks in Begonia and Peony.
Parts Assembly
I glued together the mascara with the gold accent piece in the middle and cardstock reinforcement behind it.
Next I turned to the lip gloss. I first added the applicator tip to the applicator and the gold accent piece to the back of the lid. Then I glued the ink blended contents of the container onto the cream container die cut. Next I added the applicator and the lid on top of that. I reinforced the whole lipgloss with more cardstock on the back.
On the serum bottle I glued the rubber bulb to the bottle. Then I added the gold part of the lid on top of that. I cut the top and bottom off the cream-colored label die cut and stuck it to the middle of the pattern paper label die cut. Then I glued the label to the bottle in the place indicated by the score lines. I finished by adding more cream cardstock to the back of the bottle.
For the eye shadow palette, I started by gluing the cream niche near the top, as indicated by the score lines. Then I added the two applicators.
Next I doubled up the ink blended eye shadows and popped them up on foam above the circular score lines on the palette.
Sentiment
I foiled the sentiments in the You Are Everything Sentiment Press Plate and Die with Black Glimmer hot foil on Recollections Gold Foil Cardstock. Then I cut it out with the coordinating die.
Final Assembly
First I popped the eye shadow palette up on foam tape at the bottom of the card. Then I aligned the mascara with it on the left and popped it up with more foam tape. Next was the serum bottle. I aligned it on the right side with the eye shadow palette and along the top with the mascara. I glued the lip gloss between them, again taking care to align it at the top. Then I popped up the sentiment on foam tape, partly overlapping the lip gloss. I finished up with some gold pearls.
