You'll see lots of stars this week at Merry Monday! I hope you'll join us for the challenge and get a jump start on making your Christmas cards! You'll feel great when December rolls around and you have a nice stack of handmade cards, ready to send out! Here's the inspiration photo and details for this week's challenge:
My clean and simple card came together quickly with a few punches, some twine and colored rhinestones. I used a non-traditional color palette, but anchored it with lots of red to give it a holiday feel. I really like the finished result and I hope you do too!
All supplies are Stampin' Up! unless otherwise noted:
Stamps: Greetings of the Season
Paper: Real Red, Coastal Cabana, Crushed Curry, Baked Brown Sugar, Whisper White card stock
Ink: Real Red
Tools: Small Star Punch (retired), 3/16" Corner Punch, Stamp-a-ma-jig
Extras: Red/White Baker's Twine (Doodlebug), Gold adhesive rhinestone (my embellishment stash), Tombow Multi Purpose Adhesive, Stampin' Dimensionals
Love your hanging stars Margaret, nice combination of colours and beautifully CAS.
