What's the number of times the letter "w" appears in:
I've been building up my birthday card stash lately, and it has been fun trying different styles. I saw a card on craftideas.info and loved the style, so I made my own version.
I wanted it to be something that was more gender-neutral, so I used stars instead of flowers. I cut out the stars with my Cricut using George and Basic Shapes.
I was attracted to this design because of the use of negative space. I think it adds a lot of dimension. Instead of the paper piercing, I used a patterned paper with dots. The paper comes from a great stack called Moments from My Mind's Eye that I just bought on clearance for about $1. I wish I had gotten more.
I added pop dots like the original, and a button instead of the bead. I got these buttons from the $1 bin awhile ago, and I'm finally getting around to using them.
Inside the card I used scraps from the pattered paper and the negative of the small star cutouts. I also stamped a birthday sentiment.
I love this superbly simple design, Evelyn. Fab color combo of blue and yellow. I'm so glad you chose to enter our "Shiny and New" challenge at Tuesday Throwdown this week. Good luck in the draw.
I love all the stars on this card. Thanks for joining the challenge at Creative Inspirations Paint!
This is fabulous! Love your design and colors! Thank you so much for joining us at Make it Monday! Don’t forget to leave a comment for another entry and mention you saw them on MIM for a chance at our second prize!
this is great!! love the dimension you added with the star!
I really love the wonderful stars and the combination of the colors.
That is always a terrible feeling - the "I should have got more!" sinking stomach...and yet we all have plenty of the 'why did I buy so many?' that keeps us in check :) Still, I hear ya! Love this fun colour combo - thanks for shopping your buttony stash with us this week!
