Rainbow Cityscape with Starry Sky

As is often the case I am squeezing in at the last minute before a challenge closes. This time it's the Time Out Challenge #80 Inspired by Words

'When it rains look for rainbows, when its dark look for stars'

Since rainbow colors and stars are among the things I love I really wanted to play even though I had trouble finding time. So yesterday while cooking dinner I started this card that had popped into my mind when I first saw this challenge.





Stamps: None
Dies: Cityscape (Memory Box), Circles for the Moon (Nestabilities)
Other: Stencil (Memory Box), Embossing Paste silver (Viva)


The moon is cut out from  matte silver card stock and the stars are made with a stencil and silver embossing paste.
I have lots of other ideas incorporating stars and rainbows but the challenge is ending in a few hours...
