Shine Bright Like a Diamond

Here's my card for this week's Muse challenge.  I was inspired by the Muse card's layout and white space--and used a bit from a song in my card, too!

Shine Bright Like a Diamond card-designed by Lori Tecler/Inking Aloud-stamps and dies from Clear and Simple StampsI started out by die cutting a large star from a white cardstock panel.  I used foam tape to adhere the panel to a shiny silver panel, then filled in the star-shaped opening with a white star and a silver star, also popped up with foam tape.

I stamped the "shine bright like a diamond" sentiment from the Clear and Simple Stamps Rag Doll Mia: Star set on a narrow white cardstock strip using silver ink, then heat embossed it with silver embossing powder.  The embossed strip was layered on to a silver cardstock strip, then adhered to the white panel just beneath the stars.  The finished panel was adhered to a white card base.

Speaking of Clear and Simple Stamps, have you checked out the brand new CSS website yet?  If not, you've got to check it out!  The site features a fabulous new look and lots of new and improved features, plus CSS's great lineup of stamps, dies, and coordinating papers and inks.

Materials Used:
Rag Doll Mia:  Star stamp set, Sterling Silver and A Blanc Check cardstock, Shapes:  Stars dies (Clear and Simple Stamps); Delicata Silvery Shimmer ink (Tsukineko); silver embossing powder (American Crafts); foam tape
