Whew! Still got a slight headache going on, but seemed to get this challenge done...took me longer because I did a lot of resting today. Am I the only one that suffers from Migraines? I get them twice a month, anyhow...here is my story. I got this idea from JulieHRR from the Featured Stamper shown here Birthday star!!!!!! by JulieHRR at Splitcoaststampers. The base of the card is kraft, so I am working with the brown c/s. I started with DCWV dp and used the cb swiss dots folder. Then I mounted it to the brown c/s. I used a zig zag stitch with my sewing machine on both dp's. I sponged all the edges using brushed corduroy ink. Now the tricky part: I had to make my own film strip using the punch that is in the picture (I'm sorry I don't have the name of it) and using it on brown c/s for each film strip. Trimmed as needed. I hand cut out the squares using a kraft knife. I took 2 baseball pictures of my kids and cut to size. I stamped the same boy from a studio g stamp onto vanilla c/s and colored the image using Prismacolor pencils. I used the versamark pen, clear emboss powder, and heat tool on them as well for both. I secured the stamped image/pictures with 2-way glue. I stamped 5 stars from the Teeny Tinies set with old olive ink onto vanilla c/s. I used the versamark ink, clear emboss powder, and heat tool here too. Cut out. I didn't know where to put the stars, so I just did it like this...I hope they look ok. They are held on with pop dots. The sentiment Movie Stars is computer generated and trimmed. I added eyelets and sponged the edges as well. Both are held on with pop dot squares. This was really a fun challenge once I got going. This will go in my scrapbook for the kids when I get to them. It really didn't take me all day to do this...just in between naps. I hope you like it. Thanks Roxy for the great challenge! Have a great night!
I just uploaded this card late last night (like into the wee hours of the morning) works perfect for the Ways to Use It Challenge), we were to add Stars of any kind to our card, so I decided to add this for a triple challenge.
