TGIF Challenge

Hey guys!  This is a super quick post to share a card I made for a cool new TGIF Challenge Blog.   This week's challenge was a color challenge and I have to admit this color combo was a bit of a stretch for me since these aren't colors I would usually put together.  But.. honestly that's what is so totally cool about challenges.  They stretch you to take chances and do things that are a little out of your comfort zone.

So I decided to not only use the colors from the challenge but to also use the stars.  Here's what I came up with..

I used a pool party base and topped it was a layer of the recent Sale-A-Bration DSP in the Calypso Coral.   I used the Shine like the Stars in the Universe sentiment from Banner Blessings!  I know I use this set a LOT but it really is such a favorite!  My large and medium Stars were cut using the Star Framelits in Crushed Curry.  The smallest stars were punched using the Star punch from the Itty Bitty Punch Pack.  I hand cut the banner ends and backed it in Pool Party.  I stapled some Calypso Coral Pom Pom Trim onto Crushed Curry Chevron Ribbon and adhered to the top of the card.

Here are the Stampin' Up! Items Used on my card:

  7. Oh I just love your use of the stars... to be honest, I generally don't like large hearts or large stars... I super love the mini versions of those shapes. But this card just looks PERFECT! Great to see you playing along with TGIF!
