Gold Star

Here's my card for this week's Viva la Verve sketch challenge. This week's challenge twist was to include acetate on your card.

I decided to use a star theme for my card. I took the colors for the card from the star patterned paper that I used for the panel on the right side of the card. I added a shimmery gold panel, wrapped with a blue ribbon. I stamped one of the star images from Verve's Polka Stars on a piece of acetate in gold pigment ink, then let it dry while I assembled the card.

The "superstar" sentiment from was a perfect match for my card's theme. I stamped it in the gold ink on a scrap of navy cardstock and added a gold star brad to the end before attaching it to the cardfront. I added the acetate layer last, using a glue dot hidden under the sentiment panel to adhere it to the Brocade Blue panel on the cardfront.
