Birthday Card | Pinkfresh Studio - A Place To Start Challenge Blog - "Create Your Own Challenge"

Hey There!

We've got a great challenge for you this month over on A Place To Start's Blog - Create Your Own! Head on over to the APTS Blog to see the great inspiration the design team has created!

Here are the challenge instructions: 

I chose the following items from each column in order to fit the challenge:

#1 - Image  |  #2 - Die  |  #3 - Embossing Powder  |  #4 - Sequins  |  #5 - Faux Stitching

Using the MISTI, I lightly sponged Blueprint Sketch, Chipped Sapphire and Black Soot Distress Oxide Inks onto the large round universe background stamp from Pinkfresh Studio's Constellation Set on the upper middle area of a 4.25" x 5.5" panel of white card stock. I spritzed the panel with clear shimmer mist and blotted it with a paper towel. I die cut the large Constellation Sketch Star Die from shiny matte silver card stock and glued/stacked 2 additional die cuts behind it to add dimension. I stamped the sentiment using black pigment ink on the card front and heat embossed it with clear powder.

The silver star die cut was glued into place and I added a handful of itty bitty silver star sequins to the sky. I trimmed 1/4" from the bottom of the card front and backed the entire panel with craft foam. A line of faux stitching was embossed onto a 1/2" strip of the same matte silver card stock using MFT's "Basic Stitch Line Die-Namics" and glued to the bottom of an A-2 top-folding card base. The front panel was then adhered into place on top of the stitching. I stamped the sentiment/stars on the inside of the card and added a silver constellation die cut to complete the card.
