CCMC270 Simply Stars

It's time for another Create with Connie and Mary Thursday Challenge…we have a color challenge this week!  Since I just didn't feel like making another fall card today, I thought I'd pull out another set.  Since this color combo had Crushed Curry in it, I thought of stars…and used Simply Stars stamp set!

 

 

Today's card is very clean and simple, but I love the color and the layout of it!  I find that I am using a lot of the Designer Paper Packs.  Since they are by color collections, I can always coordinate the colors together.  This one used a couple scraps that were already on my desk.

 

 

 

Here are the details:

1. The base is 4 1/4 x 11 Whisper White, folded in half to make the base card.  I embossed the front with Perfect Polka Dots folder.
2. I added a 2 x 5 piece of Bermuda Bay Chevron Designer Paper Stack along the right side.
3. I crossed the card with a 1 x 4 1/4 piece of Crushed Curry Designer Paper Stack, then added a tiny strip of Cajun Craze cardstock.
4. I cut a 1 3/4 x 2 1/2 piece of Crushed Curry cardstock and stamped the birthday greeting from Yippee Skippee on it with Black Stazon ink, then placed it on the front with Stampin' Dimensionals.
5. I stamped the large star with Cajun Craze on Whisper White and cut it out, then placed on the front with Stampin' Dimensionals and added a Bermuda Bay Candy Dot in the center.

 

Really, I tried adding more elements, but finally decided that less was definitely more in this case!
