Birthday card featuring an embossed card, a background created from tissue paper and stars and a star die cut with bling

For this birthday card I decided to have some fun and create a background right on my card front.  I started by adhering some stars in an all over pattern over my blue card front which was textured with a linear pattern.  Next, I took a piece of white tissue paper and tore it into strips.  I applied glue stick to the back of one of them and laid it over my card front over the stars.  It dulled the silver stars so I cut the tissue paper off of the star.  I kept adding strips of tissue paper over my card front avoiding the silver stars.  Feeling like the edges needed a bit more I added shorter piece several places around the edge.  Next, I added this gray star diecut which consists of four pieces which I secured on the back with regular tape so they would not separate.  I added clear glitter to the star in the middle and the second next star - it does not show well in the photo.  I adhered the star over my background once it was dry using 3D foam tape.  I added strips of clear rhinestones below the star and then added a few more all over my front to add some sparkle and shine.  Thinking it needed just a bit more contrast I added some small blue star punchies using white glue and two vellum star punchies too.  Really like how it turned out and I would like to this background technique again!!       Therese
