It has been a very eventful 24 hours - lovely events in fact. Thursday is usually such an uneventful day, nothing exciting happens on a Thursday does it?
But anyway, until the various parties involved share their news officially on Facebook, etc. I will have to reign in the excitement. Needless to say though, there will be cards aplenty that will need making!
With all that going on it feels like it should be a Saturday today, but it's not, it's a Friday and that means it's time for a brand new dare over on the Daring Cardmakers blog, courtesy of Zuz this week. :)
The challenge this week is to focus on stars! Any variety and any setting...
I went the party route!
Paper: Crate Paper
Dies: WPlus9, Lawn Fawn, MFT, Mama Elephant
Stamps: Lawn Fawn, MFT
Enamel dots: MME
Other: 3D foam, star sequins, hemp twine
So I was channelling Betsy Veldman's recent Sprinkles kit for Papertrey Ink when I started working on this card. I don't have the kit, but I loved the colours in it and I wanted some hot pink, aqua and yellow accents.
It was also a perfect excuse to bring out those lovely star balloon dies from WPlus9 - after die-cutting them I stamped on some dots in rose bud Memento ink. The little stars are all holographic gold sequins from a very old QVC purchase of Jones Tones laser gems and glitter. Very useful for this current sequin trend. I shall have to dig out the opalescent sequins and see what else that kit included. :)
There are lots of different stars featured in the cards from the design team - so do stop by the DCM blog for a look. :D
Happy weekend!
Such a happy card from someone who is obviously in a happy frame of mind :) those puffy stars are simply adorable
