And, in keeping with the space theme, I have a star-filled card to share with you tonight. I designed it using Beate's weekend sketch challenge.

I used the round "happy birthday" image from Starring You as the main image here. It's layered on a scalloped circle punch and attached to the cardfront with dimensionals.

The colors for the card came from the striped paper from the Washington Apple designer paper pack. I created a vellum overlay for the patterned panel. The overlay features the Classic Stars wheel, stamped in white craft ink. This is a fun way to add a subtle design to a card. Since there's a solid paper band across the panel that the vellum is layered on, it was easy to hide the adhesive used to attach the vellum here.

Materials Used (all from Stampin' Up!):

Starring You stamp set, Classic Stars Jumbo Wheel and handle, Bashful Blue Classic ink, White Craft ink, Pumpkin Pie, Bashful Blue, So Saffron, and Whisper White cardstock, vellum, Washington Apple designer paper, scallop circle punch, scallop edge punch, mat pack and paper piercing tool, Pumpkin Pie grosgrain ribbon, dimensionals
