I started by stamping the small star from Everyday Classics onto white cardstock with Seascape ink. Then, I stamped the birthday sentiment using charcoal ink and punched out the sentiments. I adhered those circles to slightly larger circles punched from Smoky Shadow cardstock. Next, I cut out my stars and mounted them to the center of the circles using foam tape and set aside those star medallions for a moment.
Then, I went about creating the patterned layer of my card. I stamped the stitched background from Background Basics: Retro in white ink onto Spring Rain cardstock and sponged the edges with charcoal. All that blue and gray was looking a little dreary, so I wrapped the Spring Rain layer with a bit of Pure Poppy twill to give the card a little pop. I adhered the blue layer to a white base before adding the star medallions on top of the twill with foam tape. Finally, I adhered three bright red rhinestones to the center of the stars for a punch of color and sparkle.
