Hi everyone, it's time for a new challenge at Seize the Birthday, and it was my turn to choose the theme. Add a star!
or add to your birthday stash with our anything goes birthday theme.
Our party guest and my team mates have some wonderful cards to inspire you, so I hope you can play along.
I've been missing in action a bit lately due to having a major operation, but am now on the mend and starting to feel better. Thankyou to Nancy and my team mates for covering for me while I was away :)
This is a die I bought some time ago, but as usual hadn't used it lol!
I misted a panel with a range of mica spray stains to get a bit of a rainbow of colours and diecut the border from that.
I layered it onto a black border, inlaid the black stars, then the rainbow stars for some dimension.
The stamp is also out of my unused goodies box!
Here's a closer look at the mica shimmer.
I'm linking up to these challenges:
Double D Challenge, stars
Supplies:
Ranger mica spray stains; Star border die by CardMaking Magic; Poppystamps Birthday Blowout stamp; versafine clair ink & clear ep; Crafts 4 U stitched rectangle die; textured cardstock.
Thanks for visiting,

What a beautiful star studded, colorful, shimmery border! I'm sure you'll find lots of uses for that amazing die now that you've cracked open the package! I'm so glad you shared with us in our star challenge at Double D. Keep mending and feel better!
Your stars are gorgeous Cathy, with all the colors of shimmer sprays you used!. So pretty over the white stitched edge panel and black base! Julia xx
OH WOW! Love this! Beautifully done! Thanks so much for joining in the fun at our Double D challenge! Good Luck and we hope you’ll come back often.

This is lovely. The shine is beautiful and the rainbow stars are a terrific way to say Happy Birthday. I'm glad you are through your operation and doing well.
You got those colors by using sprays? Wow, Cathy, this is impeccably made and splendidly CASlicious! Love, love, love it! Sorry to hear you had a major operation, but glad you are on the mend and able to craft again. Take care! And thank you for inspiring everyone to use their NBUS! Hugs, Darnell
Cathy, fist I am so glad that you are on the mend and feeling better. Your use of this never used die is so refreshing and I love the rainbow colors. Nice that you left some of the stars filled in. It is a CAS card filled with fun.
I don't know how you sprayed these so well; the transition from color to color is perfect. Hope you are feeling better every day! HUGS!
