Allsorts Challenge 19, 'Stars'
I used:
The carol singer stamp from the Variety sheet from I Brake For Stamps
I piece of Night Sky Glitter Card
I base card 10.5 cm x 15cm when folded
1 piece of navy blue saddle stitch ribbon
1 tag
Oval shape
3d foam pads
What I did:
I cut a piece of the night time glitter card to cover the top half of the card while still leaving a small border around the top. Stick to the base card.
Stamp the image onto the oval card and colour with shades of blue, yellow and a little red and brown.
Tie a knot in the ribbon and adhere it over the join between the glitter card and the base card.
Write a nessage on the tag and stick it to the card along with the image.
Now that's a fairly quick card.
