Hello friends and welcome to another challenge over at Addicted to Stamps and More.
This time we are looking for cards with die-cuts and/or stencils and I came up with this card.
I rarely make cards for men but I needed a card for John's birthday today so I examined my stash to see what I could come up with. I found some navy satin card and holographic silver card that I thought looked good together against a white background. The die is called Shooting Stars from Crafter's Companion and as it only cuts half a frame, I cut two and pieced them together to create the square frame and you can play find the join lol!
The sentiment is Think Big Favorites #24 from Papertrey Ink and I stamped and embossed it with silver powder. I cut the tiny red heart to dot the i, glazed it with a glaze pen, and finished off by scattering a few silver stars that were waste pieces from the frame. I like how the holographic silver card picks up the light and colours depending on which direction you are looking at it but that is heard so show you in photo.
There's a lot of inspiration for you over on the ATSM blog and I know that my very talented teammates would love it if you drop by.
I'd like to play along at
Thanks for stopping by.

Gorgeous card, Carol ! I especially love how the holographic silver frame shines with turquoise reflections over the dark blue card stock. And to popping this panel over a white double card makes the card even brighter. Have a great weekend, stay safe and keep crafting ! Hugs xx
