Brown and Cream with Stars

This card started with a few leftovers - a bit of ribbon, some brown die-cut stars, and strips of patterned paper.

I love the end result.  The break in the flow of words (patterned paper) makes a good space for a thought of "miss you."  The stars look a bit day-dreamy while also shaping the focal point.

It's also my first-ever card with a rubber stamp: a clear stamp, to be precise.  I'll post more about that sometime.

Note, the gray border is background - not part of the card. 

Card details:

• Card stock is Papertrey Ink (PTI) vintage cream, dark chocolate (brown), and the book print from PTI Dearest Jane patterned paper.  
• I edged the patterned paper with Copic E49 marker.  
• Dies are PTI seeing stars (smallest die = my large star) and My Favorite Things western star border die (retired) (cutouts from border = my 3 small stars.)
• The sentiment "miss you" is from PTI communique sentiments, stamped with PTI dark chocolate ink cube.
• The 5/8" grosgrain ribbon was tied on a bag of candy.  Lovely ribbon, enough for two cards.  In real life it's more of a cocoa brown, less yellow than the picture.
