Congratulations star!

Hi, this is my entry in this week's Less is More challenge.  I've only tried a few sketch challenges and this one looked simple enough for me.
 
Here are the details and the sketch: Join in at:
 
Sketch #8
This week we have a sketch for you drawn by Jen.
It's simplicity itself, so to add a little constraint, we ask that the card stays in this orientation ie that the band remains in the horizontal plane, in the lower part of the card and that it takes up no more than 1/3rd of the height of the cardbase.
 
and here is my card
 
 
I'm also linking this card to http://pixiescraftyworkshop.blogspot.com.au/ where the challenge is to use snippets!  Thanks Viv for the details.


I hate wasting cardstock, so I punch any small scraps that I have and save them in a little drawer. It's nearly overflowing! Thought this sketch would suit a star confetti card!
 
I tried putting a patch of glue down and sprinkling the stars on but found that individually gluing each one in place was better.
 
Materials used: Fiskars star punch; My Favorite Things star die; sentiment sticker from stash.
 
Thanks for looking :)

    Beautiful Cathy, you must have the patience of a saint! I save all the tiny scraps and punch them too, leaves, flowers, snowflakes, etc. I love the large star and the sentiment, really pulls it all together. Waving hi from Less IS More and the Playground too!

    Hugs

    Wonderful use of snippets! I punch and diecut lots of my scraps too...I find it so handy when I need a card in a hurry or my girls or grandchildren want to make some cards.

    Your desin is wonderful. I love how you placed the big star and then worked around it.

    Goodness me . . . you have lots of patience sticking those stars down! Lovely result though.

    I think you may have the wrong ending to Di's blog address mentioned in your post . . . it should be www.pixiescraftyworkshop.blogspot.co.uk

    Hope to see you on the swings now that I've come out of the treehouse cuz the sun's out!

      Hi Sam, thanks! Sticking the stars down was very therapeutic!! I copied and pasted Di's blog address but because I'm in Australia I think "it" changes it. (I'm not too technically minded as you can probably tell!) The link still works :)

    Heh Cathy, what a stunning card, love the colours. You certainly have some patience to stick those tiny stars individually but it paid off cause its brilliant!

    Welcome to the playground, wellies are the preferred footwear to avoid trench foot lol
