SEIZE THE BIRTHDAY ~ ADD A STAR

Hi friends, we have a new SEIZE THE BIRTHDAY CHALLENGE from Cathy.
She wants us to add a star to our birthday card!

the background stars are from Gina K polyglaze stencil-mates. called Star Struck.  I foiled it with a sheet of turquoise foil and then I used the stencil to do an ombre soft sea glass and ocean mist GinaK ink colors for the stars.
I added a star balloon from PTI Scribble Balloons stamp set and some silver star sequins.

I used the remainder of the foiled sheet for one more card.  I figure it would make a great graduation card or just any kind of card for a great super star even another birthday card!

 
 
Please check out the inspiration from the design team and our Special Guest:  Julia from Create with Me
 
Heart Hugs, friends!

A lovely card with the stars in the background and then a larger one as a focal image. Gina K would be proud.

Love your twofer, Colleen! I think what is so cool about that stencil is that it has large and small stars. Great job with the Topping!

I love your abundance of stars, Colleen, they all work perfectly together. And it’s always great to use up leftovers on a twofer.
