Here's What I Did:

I started with a page from the small Art by Marlene art journal and the background was created by swooshing on several colours of Distress Oxides picking the ink up, which had been lightly sprayed with water, from my craft mat. I did each colour at a time as the Oxides lay on top of each other. Once happy with that I just added a little texture to the background with some stamping, again using Distress Oxides. Sorry about the quality of the photo I just couldn't get any light.

Over that I stencilled some stars using a That's Crafty! Dinky Stencil and White Multi Surface Paint. Once the paint was dry I drew around them with a black fineliner pen. To add some contrast to the page I applied Distress Oxides again to some card this time using a lot of red, I cut a strip from this piece to stitch on the sewing machine and then added to the page, the remainder I punched out some stars using 2 different sized punches. Once I had added the red stars to the page I doodled some faux stitching onto them with a white pen.
