Such a lot to love!

I was immediately drawn to the Stacked Stars die cut. I love how the stars randomly fade out around the edges and provide the perfect backdrop for the focal point. I started by blending Rosie Cheeks and Lavender inks across white card, splattering with paints and then die cutting a Basic Rectangle. I love my Stitched Rectangles so I imagine the Basic ones will be great for when you want a perfectly cut, clean and simple panel.

I die cut the Stacked Stars from more white card and simple laid over the top of the ink blended piece and then dotted some sequins around.

For the focal point, I die cut the Hydrangea Petals from various color of felt, added french knots, seed beads and a little Stickles sparkle to the centres. The sentiment is from the Uplifting Thoughts set and stamped in Smokey Grey ink for a nicely muted look to go with the pastels. The sentiments in this set are spot on for giving someone a nice boost and in addition to the one I used today include:

• there are so many beautiful reasons to be happy
• kindness can change the world
• happiness is contagious
• be confident be brave be amazing
• today is a good day to smile

See what I mean, I can imagine myself using this set a lot :D

There’s more fun on the horizon with a blog hop tomorrow to celebrate the new Among The Stars release. Here’s a sneak peek; I hope you will pop back tomorrow to see the full card!
