This week over at The House that Stamps Built, our challenge is a photo challenge - and when I saw it I was stumped for oh maybe a minute. It certainly has a holiday/New Year Feel to it but I am sending this to grand daughter who is facing finals next week and is totally stressed out.
I die cut a set of stars out of a champagne colored shimmer cardstock - then I mounted them on a kraft and gold star cardstock that I had in my stash. I really thought all it needed was the sentiment 3105E Reach for which I embossed in rich gold embossing powder. I added some tiny gold star gems around the sentiment. So I went to address the envelope and I thought why not dress up the envelope a bit as well, so using 2106G Star Cluster I embossed the Kraft envelope with gold stars which added just a bit of a fun touch.
Now it is your turn to make a card using the challenge inspiration photo - and as you can see there are a lot of possibilities for this challenge. You have a full month to enter our challenge to win. You do not have to use Repeat Impressions stamps but if you do you will be entered twice for the drawing of a $25 gift certificate to Repeat Impressions.
If you look on my right side bar I also have a discounted coupon for you to use when you go shopping at Repeat Impressions.
Now why not take a look at our DT Rock Stars for inspiration and to get you started.
