Happy 4th of July everyone. This is my card for CC642. Barbara is our hostess and she has chosen tranquil tide, pool party and silver for her color trio. Dessert option this week is "Christmas in July".
This is our first use of one of the new 2017-2019 Stampin'-Up in-colors.
For my card I decided to use the Stampin'-Up set "star of light". I saw this card on Pinterest as inspiration. I used different colors, added additional layers and silver stars to make it my own.
On the horizontal rectangle panel I stamped the star swirl in tranquil tide ink. Layered that over tranquil tide cardstock.
On the image pane, I stamped the star light trails in tranquil tide ink. The MISTI was a great help with placement.
The stars are cut with the matching dies to this set-in pool party, tranquil tide and silver.
I stamped some additional stars in the upper left corner and added a couple of silver stars to the star swirl.
My Merry Christmas sentiment is also from the star of light set. I cut a banner with an MFT die in pool party cardstock and stamped in tranquil tide ink.
That's my card for this week. Hope you can play along with us for our Christmas in July theme using these fun colors.
You may be chosen as our weekly favorite and have your card featured on our highly viewed Pinterest board. See that here.
