Pals Paper Arts is hosting a Celebrity Color Challenge with a masculine theme (PPA96) using Cherry Cobbler, More Mustard, and Night of Navy and featuring Guest Artist, Tanya Phillips! It's the perfect opportunity for you to get a jump on creations for upcoming events such as graduation, Father's Day, or the Fourth of July!
Today's card can work for any occasion and features a smart trio of stars created with punches! Patterned paper was adhered to card stock first before punching to add depth and more body. Orienting the stripes diagonally adds visual interest, making the stars really "pop" against the neutral background of polka dots! Simple brads added to each center provide the perfect finishing touch!
Now it's your turn to "play at PPA"! Click here for inspiration from the rest of the PPA Design Team and Tanya and get all the details for submitting your creation! I can't wait to see what you make!

There are so many things to love about this card. The use of the linen thread, the use of the thread with the label, the hollowed stars. Wonderfully done!

Oh Margaret, I just love this card. Between you and Mary I have so many star cards to case, and the stamp set retired and the punch too, I think. I love your card and your style lady. I noticed each star is punched exactly the same too. I love that!!!! The brad center is my favorite detail. Hugs,

I love it, Margaret. Your addition of Crumb Cake is perfect. I love it always with Navy anyway.
