I didn't think I'd have time to make something for this month's Blog Hop, but I wanted to because it means I participated in every Blog Hop challenge this year! This month's inspiration wasn't hard to get ideas from - as soon as I saw the Hawaiian Shores and Lovely Lady stars I knew what I wanted to do (even though these colors are a bit out of my comfort zone!😎).
I die-cut my stars in Hawaiian Shores, Lovely Lady and Aqua Mist cardstock. To add some dimension to the card, the Hawaiian Shores stars are die-cut and stacked three times, Lovely Lady die-cut and stacked 2 times and Aqua Mist die-cut once.
The card base is white cardstock, with a strip of Hawaiian Shores stripes on the left side. I placed the stars in a random pattern, leaving a space for the sentiment, stamped in black ink.
I added glitter to the stars and rounded the right bottom corner. It's busy this time of year so I'm happy I was able to make a quick card to enter the challenge.
