STAMPIN’ PRETTY STEP-BY-STEP TUTORIAL:
Begin with a 5 1/2 x 4 card base of Whisper White Thick card stock.
Cut a second piece of Whisper White Thick card stock to 5 1/2 x 4. Use snipped-to-size Stamping Sponges to add the following classic ink colors to create the “galaxy background”: Highland Heather, Flirty Flamingo, Balmy Blue, Rich Razzleberry, Pacific Point, Night of Navy, and Bermuda Bay.
TIP: When sponging ink onto cardstock, start with an extremely light touch in a circular motion. This is the best way to prevent ‘hard’ sponge marks on your card stock.
Squeeze an Aqua Painter filled with water and gently flick water droplets onto the background. Let soak for 30 seconds, then dab with a paper towel.
Once the ink is dried completely, rub with an Embossing Buddy. Stamp the stars in Versamark ink onto the background, several times until you have desired coverage. Cover with Gold Stampin’ Emboss Powder. Flick to remove the excess and set with a Heat Tool.
Use a die-cutting and embossing machine to crop a piece of Whisper White card stock with the largest Stitched Nested Labels Die and a piece of Gold Glimmer Paper with the Stitched Stars Die.
Rub the label die with an Embossing Buddy. Use a Stamparatus to position and stamp the sentiment (So Many Stars) in Versamark Ink as shown. Cover with Gold Stampin’ Emboss Powder, flick to remove the excess and set with a Heat Tool. Adhere to the card base with Stampin’ Dimensionals.
Adhere the star die-cut and the cropped stars to the stitched label die as shown with Multipurpose Liquid Glue.
POP OF PERSONALITY! Color 5 Clear Epoxy Droplets with the following Stampin’ Blends (left to right): Balmy Blue Dark, Flirty Flamingo Dark, Night of Navy Dark, Bermuda Bay Dark, & Highland Heather Dark.

So sorry, the instructions missed the part about using the Stars Stamp to stamp in Versamark ink onto the background:
Once the ink is dried completely, rub with an Embossing Buddy. Stamp the stars in Versamark ink onto the background, several times until you have desired coverage. Cover with Gold Stampin’ Emboss Powder. Flick to remove the excess and set with a Heat Tool.
