Jennie

As my husband often navigates our boat by celestial means (the stars and the night sky) I have decided to interpret the theme by decorating a raffia star for Christmas using my favourite colours this year - blue and white. Unusually for me it includes glitter!!

 Please visit my BLOG for more details.

Di

The altered background paper I used for this festival mask, reminded me of  space, hence the stars and moon featuring on it. Pop on over to my BLOG to see some more details on what I used and how this was created.

Christi

I love this saying and I love to make wall hangings, so this one is a gift to myself! Please see visit my BLOG for more details!

Brenda

I found this Luminary in the "Dollar" section at Target which called out to me to be altered. Visit my BLOG for more details on my Starry Night Light.

Margaret

While the stars on my ATC are the direct tie to the 'celestial' theme, there is the gentle reminder of the three words that gives me a heavenly sense of peace. Please visit my BLOG for more details.

Rupa

My take on Celestial...the blue night skies and the silver stars! Taking these colors as inspiration, I have altered an old canvas painting of mine. I have made a collage of this lovely lady on a book box with bees wax. For more on what this lady is up to, please visit my BLOG. 

Elaine

I used a photo mount and foamboard to make a box frame. Painted background and clear stamped onto acetate and brushed white pan pastel over the top. Visit my BLOG to see more details.

Toni

When I think celestial, I think angels. Using the freezer cracked method I created these angel wings to adorn my mixed media Christmas wall hanging. Drop by my blog HERE for more pictures and a Snapguide tutorial on how I achieved this look. Merry Christmas!

Lynne

I love the Christmas story where the Three Wisemen followed the star to the stable in Bethlehem, thus I have created a candle holder to tell the story of the wisemen. I hope you will stop by Her Craftiness to see how this was created.

Neva

Scarves are all the fashion rage right now, and what better way to celebrate a Celestial theme by wearing a few of my favorite angel stamps?  This is an easy to recreate project, although it can be time consuming if you choose a large scarf like I did! Visit my BLOG for a short tutorial and you too can be wearing a wonderful creation of your own choice! 

Rita Marie

"Wishing On A Star"

This is a Mixed Media piece using one of my Creative Lovely sketches. If you would like to see the tutorial for this artwork please go visit my BLOG. I really enjoyed making this artwork for the challenge, and I hope this inspires you to take the challenge.

Lisette

I'm not sure that this little celestial being is quite as angelic as she looks! Find out how quick and easy she was to create over on my BLOG.

Sheri

Here is another page from a few weeks ago in my Documented life. The prompt for that week was stars. Using what I had around me as with much in storage awaiting our final move. Please visit my BLOG for more details!

Julie

What happens when you take bamboo flooring, roofing iron, circuit boards and stars? Well.... I made a Celestial decoration for our verandah! You can find more details on my BLOG. My best wishes to everyone. What a wonderfully creative year we have had at Anything But A Card Challenges. 

Ruth

When I look up onto the stars and the planets, I always think about something magical, something shining, something that breaks the darkness, something fragile. So for the Celestial challenge as the holidays are closing on us I created an altered light catcher bottle where the light is actually provided by a single candle. Jump over to my BLOG and check out how can you decorate one for yourself as well.

Heather

This new challenge prompt is "Celestial". Just what I needed to finally put paint to plaster and complete one of the many crafty items I have had in stock for far too long! One of them happened to be a precast plaster wall hanging of an Angel with stars, perfect for the challenge - and the holiday season. The precast plaster item, various paints and varnish, snow texture medium, an old wreath and red velvet ribbon all came together to create this holiday wreath. Check out my BLOG post to see more details.
