Anyhoo, where's the card, you ask?
Started out as an idea to create a blue star card. Cuz that's what I got from the Curtain Call inspiration photo. See 'em on the tree?
Well I knew I wanted to play at a new challenge I discovered from my pal Shirley B., Stamplorations. I'm diggin' those stamps. So the challenge calls for stamping and sequins.
Only problem was I got sidetracked by this nifty October Afternoon Holiday Style - great retro feel to this line. Love the blue tone so decided to go with it. Made a shaker star-shaped card, trapping sequins between the card and the layer of recycled packaging I stitched on. Stamping was then limited to the embellies - the candy cane and sentiment up top - both embossed to keep up with the shiny-ness of the project ;)
Also placing this into the Paper Crafts November gallery challenge where it's all about sequins!
Happy (real) Thanksgiving week to ya'll.
Supplies for merry and bright:
Paper: cardbase Bringmann, PP October Afternoon, recycled packaging
Stamps: sentiment WMS
Ink : Versamark
Tools: star die Sizzix, holly die MFT
Other: sequins
