You are a star

Good Morning everyone

Today im sharing a 'You are a Star' card I made for a friend, she is a super star for sure.  I used my new XL star dies from Creative products which have a lovely cut out detail to the edges for a bit of interest. 

Size approx 8x8" with star points.   I used an old pennyblack koolkats stamp with this kitty on his surf board which I stamped onto white card and then die cut into a star, I then watercoloured with distress inks.  I stamped the cat a 2nd time, cut out just the cat and decoupaged onto the base image.  

I found a blue toned paper which has beach icons printed onto it which I die cut with the largest star and added to a star die cut from white card.  I die cut a another star from more white card, scored about an inch down on one of the points and adhered to the back thus making it a stand up card.

Taking 2 smaller stars I die cut a frame from white card, I wanted this raised and thought would be a nightmare to add foam pads to the shape so I die cut another 2 frames from scrap card from packaging, these I adhered to the back of the white frame and it gave it some height. This I then added to the cardfront.

I then adhered my cat topper into the middle.  Adding frosted lace stickles to the foam on the surf for a little subtle sparkle.

Sentiment made up from die cut letters and chit chat stickers on kraft card to pick up on the tones in the cat and a contrast to all the blue and white.

Just a close up of surfing kool kat.  Although my cats don't mind water and one has been known to go swimming, I think surfing is out of the question😁
