Hi, I wanted to create a card for the challenge at Addicted to Stamps and More where they have this gorgeous photo for inspiration.
I stamped a Judikins star stamp that I've had for quite a few years onto a glossy calendar page. The picture was a sailing boat with a cloudy sky, so I managed to fit the star onto the blue sky parts.
I used Versacolor silver ink and fine detail silver embossing powder and popped a sequin into the centre for some more sparkle. The embossing folder is one I used at my sisters, I think it's a cuttlebug snowflake one.
I'm also going to link up to the Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge where the theme is to keep your card Clean & Simple. The Simon Says Stamp Monday Challenge is to use ink.
Thanks for visiting :)

Fabulous embossing Cathy - I almost thought you had used your sparkle gel pens on the blue - but now I see its the page background - ...Mxx

Wow, that star is a star... so rich.
Gorgeous star, it looks great on the white snowflake embossed background. Have a wonderful day, Shirleyx
Hi Cathy, the layered up star embossed in silver on blue looks so pretty on the lovely white embossing and the sequin is the perfect finishing touch.
I really like the blue star - such an elegant image. The embossed snowflake background is great. Thanks so much for playing along with ASM this week!

Your blue and silver star is GORGEOUS! Love it popped up on your embossed background. Loll xx
Wow! this is so stunning. Thank you so much for joining us at ATSM. Good luck.. :)
Stunning card with a fab star. Liked it even more so when I read you had used the glossy calendar. I've been saving pretty calendar pics for a while, just to use for something. Also saw a blog where the cardmaker was using glossy magazine pictures, removing color with acetone (fingernail polish remover) and making gorgeous things. This is really beautiful, & good for you in your recycling so wonderfully well. TFS & Hugs
The combination of dry embossing and siler embossing is so pretty. Thank you so much for getting inky with us at Simon Says Stamp Monday Challenge Blog!
