New Challenge Entry!!! And this time it's home decor... oh la la!

I have been wanting to try some "home decor" type projects for a while now, so I finally buckled down and made something for my son's room.  Every night before bedtime I tell him, " I love you to the..." and he finishes with "moon and back!"  I just love it!  So I had to make something for his room with this saying... and here is what I came up with:

I started with a plain canvas and painted it gold over the entire thing.  Then I used my Vinyl and Basic George Cartridge and cut out a ton of stars at 1/2" to use to build the first letter to each word... and I used the Calligraphy Cartridge to make the other letters in the words.  I used Create a Critter Cartridge for the moon and cut it out in vinyl as I did with the words.  I put these on top of the gold once it was gold and painted over the whole thing in a dark blue.  Once that was dry I slowly peeled off the vinyl and was left with my words and moon in gold.  I then added in my grass.  While that dried I cut out my tree with the Stretch Your Imagination Cartridge two times  to give it more dimension when I placed 1/4" pop dots in between.  The hearts were cut out of Create  Critter Cartridge at three different sizes.  The ones on the limbs were then dazzled with red stickles, while the one on the tree was done with gold distressed stickles.  I also ran my tree through my Swirls Embossing Folder and lightly went over it with a gold stamp pad!  Ta da!!!!

I also am entering this project into 3 different challenges, so please go see what others have done as well!!!
