Christmas Stars and Sketch Challenge

 The last couple days I have played with a sketch challenge and a challenge I have in a private Facebook group.  The group challenge is to use stars on your Christmas cards.  I used the sketch and substituted stars for the circles.

Here is the sketch from 52 Christmas Card Throwdown.

I used my Silhouette to cut my stars from pattern paper.  I also cut plain white ones to glue to each star to make them heavier.  I glued my layer of stars together and then added white gesso around the edge to give them a frosted look.  I dry embossed the snowflake background and matted it with another piece of patterned paper.  I used a readymade sentiment and matted it with more patterned paper.  Everything was glued to the card base.  I splattered a sparkly white ink over the card to add some shimmer.  As an afterthought, I added the snowflakes to tie the background into the focal point.

Thanks for the sketch.

Keep working on those Christmas cards - it is coming very fast.
