Here's another card for Queen Anne, with hopes that the stars are shining brightly for her in Florida. Browsing through her gallery, I came across this gorgeous card and remembered I had a stash of star shaped buttons I made back in my pottery phase. This particular button was unglazed, so I painted it with Perfect Pearls to dress it up a bit. Didn't have any textured white cardstock, but found a gray that coordinated with some salted background paper I made for the August VSN challenge. Voila... a card was born!
Thanks for looking!

What a pretty card, Hilda! Love the button you made - the Perfect Pearls sure make it a shining star. Wonderful colors in the background you made - so vibrant together.

Ms Broom, is this not a darling card? I love the simplicity and those colors. I well remember this one button CAS card. I love what you've done with your case. It's exceptional. Thanks so much for taking time to craft a card in my honor.
