I made this stary Christmas card for this week's color challenge. Karen is the hostess and she has given us Not Quite Navy, Baja Breeze and Cherry Cobbler for our colors. A great color combo don't you think??!! Her dessert option is to make it Christmas or winter.
I didn't have the SU colors this week so I used similar colors of Coredinations Paper and wrinkled seam tape.
I embossed a wonky rectangle on the white panel then cut a smaller wonky rectangle in star patterned paper. My stars are cut with Nestabilities and adhered wth foam tape. I stamped starbursts on the stars and added tiny twinkles to the centers as well as some on the sentiment.

This is fabulous Julia! I love that wonky rectangle with the little star dp inside. Cute idea putting little stars on the bold stars. The wrinkled seam tape bow is perfection!! TFS
