Little Star

My new Shining Star stamp set from Verve arrived the other day and I put it to use right away on this sweet baby card. It’s based on sketch 34 from Retro Sketches, which is celebrating a full year of fabulous sketch challenges this week.

I used a neutral color palette of pale green and yellow for my card. I die cut a scallop edged strip from a piece of green plaid patterned paper and adhered that to the left side of my card, edging it with a pale yellow strip. Once the scalloped piece was in place, I stamped the “little star” sentiment on the cardfront in green ink, then used foam tape to adhere a shimmery gold die cut star above the sentiment. I cut apart some crystal flourishes to add a sparkly trail to either side of the star.  So sweet!
