In the Stars

I'm loving the "In the Stars" set (in the Summer mini). I've always liked stars, and I love that you can use them for boys and girls of all ages. It's even got a baby stamp in the set (after all, aren't all babies little stars??). I used a metal-edged tag on this card to make it extra-special. When using these tags, I find it easier to stamp on a separate piece of cardstock, punch it out with a circle punch and then stick that to the tag, rather than trying to stamp straight onto the tag itself. I then attached my tag to a scallop circle.
I hadn't tried this colour combo before, but I really like these colours together...Groovy Guava, Pretty in Pink and Regal Rose. The words 'one of a kind' are a rub-on. The scallop edge at the bottom complements the Scallop circle, and I finished it off with some gel pen dots in the centre of each scallop.

  3. love the colour combo... I've found that Groovy Guava seems to work really well with pink - and not so much with the oranges I thought it would.

    PS.... Among my friends I've apparently renamed GG to "Gwoovy Grava" .....somehow that is what is coming out :D
