Velvet Star

Hi there.  I'm so glad you stopped by!

I've had another chance to play with that velvet paper.

I remembered that I had a sheet of similar paper in white that came in a 

kit several years ago.  I put them together and came up with this card.

I was inspired by the Mood Board at the Peace on Earth Challenge.

I love the red and white and spotted those sweet stars in the top right corner.

Originally I was going to cut a red plaid star and discovered the back side of the 

paper would be perfect to hang a star from.  So I went with the velvet paper.

There are already pine branches on the paper but I wanted more so I stamped

some with an old wood mount stamp.

I spent far too much time trying different sentiments and finally gave up and 

went without.  Maybe I'll discover the perfect one before it goes out.  There's a little

bit of time to figure that out.

Challenges:

ABC Christmas:  A is for ATG Christmas, B is for Bright

Peace on Earth #105: Inspired by the Stars in the upper right and the red and white on upper left
