A SuperSTAR??

Ally did it again and threw me a real challenge for a sketch this week. Check out So Sketchy for the Star card sketch. At first glance, I thought, now how am I going to make a Star card? How? First I had to find a template or something, because, my freehand, well, its not that great. I would never be able to draw a star on my own. LOL. So this is a 4 1/2" Star cut from a traced star. The star is tempting turquoise paper, the smaller circles are Martha Stewart DSP and cut with the SU 1 3/8" circle punch, the larger circle is whisper white cardstock sponged with turquoise ink around the edges and cut with the Marvy mega circle punch. I outlined the circles with a white Martha Stewart opaque pen. The points of the star are dotted with sky blue pearls. I used Verve stamps: Starlight Starbright for the sentiment. The sentiment reads "Reaching for the Stars, We find our greatest self." This is one of my favorite all-time quotes. It reminds me to always strive to do my best, reach for the stars, and in that, we truly find ourselves. In the end, I really enjoyed making this card and I thank Ally for the challenge. Hop on over to So Sketchy and join in the fun. Thanks for stopping by and HAPPY STAMPING!

Lovely card! Was it difficult to cut as a star? Thanks for sharing So Sketchy! I had never come across it before. I like that they have a new sketch daily.
