Super Stars

Hello all! Let me begin by saying "Thank You" to everyone who left me such comforting well wishes yesterday. From the bottom of my heart, it meant so much! You have truly made the healing process a bit easier.

Welcome to the final day of the Papertrey Ink Countdown and the second group post day. This time around we bring you Super Stars, designed by Nichole Heady, a truly super set! Each of us has picked an inspiration piece via Pinterest. Here's what I chose to work with...This gorgeous Anthropology window display inspiration piece can be found here. Anyone else as crazy about Anthropology as I am? Love that store! Anyways, I was inspired by the bright and bold color combo of the square and rectangle pieces. I interpreted them into a color combo of Raspberry Fizz, Summer Sunrise and Hawaiian Shores. I began this card by stamping the sentiment in True Black and the dotted flourish in Summer Sunrise.I then stamped the large star three times (using Raspberry Fizz, Summer Sunrise and Hawaiian Shores inks), trimmed, layered the stars together with dimensional adhesive and attached to the card base. Just A Note: I trimmed the card base to 5" x 3 1/2" to accommodate the star hanging over the edge.

Well, that's it from me today. Be sure to see what the rest of the Papertrey Ink design team has in store for you today...

Thanks for stopping by!

  4. Thanks for sharing that you cut down the card to accommodate the star and get it in an envelope. After all these years of making cards it just never occurred to me.
