Ok, enough explanation. Let's get to the card! It's a regular A2 card. I just used some dark blue card stock as the background. I cut seven stars from Baby Steps and glued them on in the pattern of the Big Dipper, probably the most recognizable of the constellations. I used a yellow gel pen to trace the line of the constellation, to make it even more recognizable. The tag was cut from George and Basic Shapes, and the sentiment was stamped with Lawn Fawn stamps (what a shock, right?)
The blue striped strip at the bottom is a piece of washi tape from Target, and I used a few miscellaneous green gems to dress it up. On another note- why is it that pictures always show flaws that are totally not noticeable in real life? I swear there are no visible folds in the paper or washi in real life...
I'm entering this card in the following challenges:
Creative Cutter Room- Summer Fun
Celebrate the Occasion- Star Struck
