I have wanted to make a card like this for a while, but don't have the right star die. But this week's color challenge at 52 {Christmas} Card Throwdown challenge was the perfect opportunity to make it work anyway. So, I used a star stamp on the back of the panel and cut it out using my craft knife. And it came out pretty much like I imagined. I think the card could use some more embellishment, but I just couldn't figure out what that should be and I'm pretty happy with it as it.
This picture shows the popped up layer a little better.
Challenges:
Sweet 'n' Sassy Digi Challenge #95--go green or recycle (the gold panel is recycled gold textured wrapping paper from Christmas. My brother-in-law always finds really cool wrapping paper and I though it was just too pretty to throw away! It had to be good for something, right?)
JUGS #179--negative die
52 {Christmas} Card Throwdown--black, gold, white
Supplies:
Stamps: Word Art By Karen "Matthew 2:10" digi; Verve "Star of Wonder" star to use to cut out the star
Recycled gold wrapping paper.
I don't think your card needs anything else at all - it's absolutely beautiful. Clean, simple and elegant. Thanks so much for playing along with 52CCT this week!
ReplyDeleteHeather, I think this is a wonderful CAS card! It's terrific just the way it is.

ReplyDeleteYour card is so striking! I love the image and the message! I think you might be distracting from the simplicity if you add anything. And great job cutting out that star by hand! I'm impressed. Thanks for joining in at 52CCT this week!
