Star Quality

My friend Lisa and I are taking part on the Clean & Simple  Card Making Online Class, me more for the fact that I need a kick start after a two week break, plus I really admire the instructors/designers.

So today was the first class and it came together with sketches, so I chose one of them and made my CAS card.

Paper: cardstock (PTI); designer paper (Cosmo Cricket)
Ink: Versafine Onyx Black; Versamark
Stamps: The Craft's Meow
Other: clear embossing powder; dimensional foam adhesive; jute(Michaels)

I followed the sketch to the T.  The sentiment is stamped in black ink and embossed with clear embossing powder.  The patterned paper panel was created by first adhering the paper to a piece of kraft cardstock and then mounted with dimensional foam (it just makes it sturdier).

The star was stamped with Versamark and clear embossed.

So, as you can see, there is not much to it but I like the outcome.  I love CAS designs, right up my alley!

It's been an interesting day here in Katy, Texas!  We were under a tornado warning and were hit by some severe weather including hail which created sheets of ice floating down some neighborhoods!  My poor friend Lisa was forced to pull over at one point and try to sit out the storm, pretty scary, I could hear it in her voice when she called me.  Lucky for me I was indoors at my Pilates class.

But all is quiet here in our neighborhood now.  It's still raining, but it's mild.
