Today's card turned out rather clean and simple despite the many challenges I was inspired by: colors, layout, shape.
I thought I would need these supplies. The golden rick rack is just a pesky little piece that has been hanging around since I got it (three years ago). Today would be the day to finally use it!
I shaped the card by partial die cutting with the largest circle die. There was a lot of fiddling involved to get the overlay to fit, but on the second try it did. The layout challenge had given me the idea to punch 8 decorative stripes into the card front and place the golden stars above it.
The sentiment was stamped and then embossed with gold.
And that rick rack found its place, too.
Entering this in these challenges that inspired me today:
