Papertrey May Blog Hop Challenge

The challenge for this month is use this picture of wood blocks as inspiration. When I saw it, I immediately thought of falling stars.....I like using anything with stars on cards!

Using a star border punch and lots of PTI scrap cardstock, I punched 4 different sizes of stars in eleven different colors. This was a great way to use up some of those smaller scraps that I can't seem to throw away!

I adhered the stars to white cardstock, trying to follow the color layout in the wood blocks image. It took me close to twenty minutes to put all of the stars on here...there had to be an easier way, but it became therapeutic after a while. lol For the sentiment, I used one of the Bubble Talk dies, cut in Spring Moss and placed on foam tape. A perfect sentiment for the card!

The star panel is attached to a Hawaiian Shores cardstock card base. I added Caribbean twine wrapped around the card as an embellishment.
