This is my card for HYCCT1404 "Holding It Together" - to hold it together without your usual resources. No foam dots, no ATG or other tape, no wet glues or Glossy Accents, no glue gun... You can use things like brads, eyelets, stitching (machine or hand), staples.
Okay, maybe I cheated a little - the sentiment is a sticker. I cut two additional layers, stacked them and used my Crop-a-Dile to punch holes for the brads.
I die cut the stars from the patterned paper, but the card base looked a little dull behind them, so I masked off the edges of the card base and misted with gold and sparkle Shimmer Spritz. I attached the layer to the card base using brads also. Now that it's done, I think the brads lend a definite masculine feel to the card.
As always, thanks for looking!

Beautiful card, Jody - I love the way the die-cut star apertures give an extra illusion of depth without requiring more ingenuity for layering. I remember Holly did something similar on her sample and I thought it was so neat. I guess it could be a guy card, but I certainly don't think the brads give it a masculine look. Thank you so much for playing along and Holding It Together.
