A happy, bright card with a happy sentiment! I like the contrast and the starry circle shapes. The die set cuts an open "lacy" star, with the option to add a solid layer beneath it for contrast (white in my card). I added more variety by alternating the horizontal placement of the two star shapes. It still needed something more, so I added a triangle of accents with the little dots on a few stars.
Card details:
- Card stock is Neenah solar white, Papertrey Ink (PTI) pure poppy (red), enchanted evening (dark blue), and the bitty dots print from PTI fine linen (tan) pattern pack.
- Dies are PTI sketched shapes (wide banner) and My Favorite Things western star border duo.
- I added a few dot accents, punched with a 1/4" hole punch.
- Sentiment "Happy thoughts of you!" is computer printed with red and blue ink using Cooper Black font, expanded spacing. I increased the font size of the "!" which looked too small otherwise.
