Happy Monday Friends

Today's card share was created for the new challenge over on the (new to me) Inspiration Station Challenge Blog.  Today's theme is Star Light, Star Bright and here is their inspiration board ...

 

 One of their main rules is as follows:

Remember, to be eligible for the Prize, Please **Let us know in your blog or Social Media Post how the Photo Inspired You.

 Well, as you have probably figured out by now, it was that blue & purple star that caught my eye and inspired me for my card creation.  I'm always in the need for birthday cards so that is the theme of my card and while looking through my sentiment dies I thought this one worked perfectly.  I instantly started humming  ... When you wish upon a star, makes no different who you are . . . . .

I've used Tim Holtz Distress Oxide Wilted Violet & Mermaid Lagoon to create my sponged background panel from which I then die cut my stars using the Tutti Designs Nesting Stitched Stars for the main focus of my card.

 

 My sentiment is the Penny Black 'Celebrations' (#51-028) die set

and I've position it onto one of dies from the Sue Wilson 'Stitched Flags' (CED 4317) set.  It wasn't long enough for my phrase so I carefully extended it's length when die cutting then adhered the words.

 

 A little sponging of the Wilted Violet around the edges of my sentiment flag and Viola!

I hope you'll take a break from all the holiday decorating & shopping to relax and play along in this fun challenge.  This time of the year can be so stressful ... I don't know about you but I find taking time to sit and make a card is an excellent mental release for me!

Thanks so much for stopping by!
As always . . .
