Star Card

This is the first of the two cards I made for Cure For The Monday Blues Challenge.

For this challenge, we need to create a card based on the following inspiration photo.


I used the white, coral and mint color from the photo as well as the starburst mirror to create my card.


The starburst mirror made me think of a star, so I used the biggest die from  Lawn Fawn Puffy Star Stackable die set to create the base of the card. Using a sponge dauber, I colored the edge of the base card with Tsukineko Delicata Gold ink.

To create the inner part of the card, I temporarily adhered pieces of PTI Aqua Mist, Stampin' Up Whisper White and Crisp Cantaloupe cardstock on a piece of scrap paper. I then created another star die cut using the same die that I used to create the base card. Thanks to the embossing created by the die, I was able to trim the star die cut to make it smaller than the base card. I removed the pieces of cardstock from the scrap paper and adhered them to the base card.

For the embellishment, I used the Peaceful Pinecones stamp and die set from PTI. I also used some gold enamel dots from Studio Calico.

Supplies:
- Lawn Fawn Puffy Star Stackable die set
- PTI Peaceful Pinecones stamp and die set
- PTI Aqua Mist, Stampin' Up Whisper White and Crisp Cantaloupe cardstock
- Stampin' Up Gumball Green, Chocolate Chip ink pad
- Memento Tuxedo Black ink pad
- Studio Calico Gold enamel dots

  1. I love how you thought outside the box with the starburst and turned it into a star! Love the diagonal stripes of cardstock and the clever placement of your enamel dots and pinecone! Thanks so much for playing to find a Cure For The Monday Blues!
