This card is way out of my lane, but I had fun stretching this week! The gray threw me at first but then I got this idea and bam! Actually it took me a LLLLOOOONNNNNNGGGGGG time to make my little teeny tiny mosaic of cs pieces on the back of that star border punch, long enough that I instantly decided this would not be a class card, someone might flip out, and liability and all.....I decided to only torture myself. After that the rest of the card was a piece of cake, but I did question myself on the border punch idea. Okay- next week I chose the colors and I have been having night terrors everytime I think of using them, so stay tuned!! If I thought THIS was a challenge........Happy Tuesday everyone!!

Your card is taking center stage with all its brilliance, Karen! Wow! So sparkly pretty...love the bottom piece, even though you probably will never attempt it again! I'm not too sure about next week's colors either, but I know I'll come up with something. At least we don't have to use a bug this time. : )

The border punch idea was an great choice, Karen, IMHO. LOVE the glitter behind a random choice of stars. Quite spectacular! Your labor of love on the gray background is also really well done and adds a nice subtle texture. Awesome card!

Well, Karen, I do love this card, and would like to say it was worth every minute (hour?) you put into it! :-) The sparkly paper is so festive and beautiful! Can't wait to see what next week brings!
