I made this awhile back when Lisa, Connie and I were doing a challenge.  We found the layout on mytime’s site and thought it would be a good one to do.  We added a color challenge where it had to be black, white, and one other color.

Often my way of picking a set is whatever is laying on top of my desk when I sit down to stamp.  Now if you ever saw my desk you’d know that often the possibilities are quite limitless as I have a VERY messy desk with lots on top.  I had just received this set “Starring You” which coordinates with the “Rock Star” card elements kit.  It is really a GREAT little set!  Well for my ‘other’ color I chose sahara sand another neutral.  I like the clean look of this color combo.  I used my markers to do the star/word image and then punched out and added to a metal edge tag…dang…I haven’t used those in like FOREVER!!!  The big circle was done with my coluzzle.  I used that for the black and the sahara sand and then cut a white strip, laid it over the circle and trimmed the edges.  On the white background layer I stamped the stars using stazon jetblack and then colored in using my sahara sand marker.  To make the tag on top, I stamped the star image using sahara sand, then did the words in black on top.  I punched out using the key tag punch and then sponged the edges using sahara sand.  It is all finished off with a piece of white taffeta ribbon around the top and the tag added with a piece of linen thread.

I would have to say I liked the way it turned out.  This was one of these cards where I did it and sent to my friends then decided I needed to change something on it.  I had originally had a skinny tag where the way to go tag is and didn’t like it.  This worked much better.  You can see Connie’s version of this card here.

Hope you all have a GREAT day and GO OUT AND VOTE!!!!!  Happy stampin’!
