A bright and cheery card for you today. I made this for the June Craftmad card swap we had to use embossing folders on our card. I think I covered that requirement. This card by Sara inspired me. I dug out a lot of my embossing folders and ran them through the Cuttlebug with different cut offs from my Stampin Up Brights collection. I couldn't find a butterfly punch so opted for this star punch. Took me a little bit but I figured out that if I cut the strip of colour then punched the star from the bottom right corner this only ended up being part of a star shape and not usable on the card. I had to punch a star to use from other card stock to slot into the punched out shape. Hope that makes sense. ;-) Visit the Craftmad Gallery to see how the other ladies used their embossing folders.
It's another beautiful blue sky day here in Gordonvale. Cool start and heading up to just the right warmth during the day. Perfect for climbing the Walsh's Pyramid as my daughter and I had planned but that won't be happening this week after all as my daughter has been called in for extra work. Can't knock that back. There is always next week. :-)
Have a great day everyone.
love how the stars are popping out!
