Western Star

I have deceided to change the decor in my frontroom and kitchen. We use to have "up North lodge/woods" kind of stuff. Fish, bear, moose. But we have chosen to go with a "Western" type decor. I am having trouble finding this type of stuff. I have found a tutorial on Splitcoast Stampers on how to make this star.
I took empty soda cans and washed them out. I let them dry real good and then I cut the top and bottom off. I then used the Stampin Up die 5 point star. I cut out 5 of those and then used Adirondack alcohol ink in Rust. I put a ton of little dots all over the stars and then just dabbed it with a sponge. I applied several layers after letting each layer dry. Then I used the heat tool to dry it completly. Rescored (is that a word) all my score lines. I took a gold button that I had in my stash. It was nice but not really the color I was looking for so I put Versamark on it an covered it in gold embossing powder. I hot glued the button to the center and I was done. I like how it turned out but I do see some errors that I made that I will change on my next one. Yes I will be making some more.
