Little Star

Here's my card for this week's Viva la Verve sketch.  It's doing double-duty as my entry for this month's Verve Diva Dare to create a baby or kid themed card.

The alphabet patterned paper I found in my paper stash was the perfect starting point for my baby card.  I adhered a strip of the patterned paper to a pale blue card base.  The panel was topped with a celery fishtail flag strip, then with a pair of pale yellow fishtail flag strips.

I stamped the set's "little star" sentiment in gray ink on a white stitched circle die cut.  After matting the sentiment on a blue circle, I added it to the cardfront over the fishtail flag strips.  To go with the sentiment, I die cut a small star from yellow cardstock and used foam tape to adhere it to the top of the sentiment panel.  A trio of clear sequins add a little sparkle--the perfect finish for a star themed design!
