Wish Big

2 posts in one day! Well I had some time at home today since my baby sitter had to cancel and Izzy took a fabulous nap, so I got a fun challenge in. It has been so long since I have participated in the embellish challenge that I knew that was the one for me. I also wanted to do the Stamp TV stars inspiration challenge. I knew just what would combine these challenges for me, my long neglected Star Prints set.
Here is my card

They had some bright colors, but I had a lot of fun thinking about how to put this card together. I started by creating my back pannel. I stamped the dots from polka dot basics 2 in champaigne versa mark. I like the subtle shine you get when using that product. I then wanted to add a flourish. I inked it up in chocolate chip ink and then stamped off once. The stars were stamped in the same versa mark chocolate and then embossed with clear embossing powder. I really like how it made the color pop. Lastly I added the sentiment, raspberry fizz ribbon and the faux stiching. Super fun!!!!

These colors were a bit of a challenge for me, but I really like and appreciate the end result. As I was changing my PTI order for the 100th time since the 15, I decided to really look at what I already had and think about what I was missing from my collection. I am bound and determined to break out the stamps I have and use them to their fullest rather than always needing new, new, new. Now I still spend around $100 mind you, so I didn't widdle too much, but I did feel better about hitting send LOL!

It's a good life!
