For today's post, I'm sharing the card that I made for Papertrey Ink's Make it Monday Challenge #311: Using Different Types of Papers. I am really excited about this challenge as one of my crafting goals for this year is to use up the stacks of cardstock that I have in my craft room!
To start this challenge, I selected a piece of printed paper with a circular pattern, as I thought this would pair nicely with the Star Gazer and Star Gazer Additions stamp sets from Papertrey Ink. I die cut a background panel and then inked the edges with brown chalk ink to make the paper look more antique.
Using the Notched Star Banner Dies, I then cut the front panel from a piece of patterned paper with grid lines on it. I selected this paper as the color and grid lines complimented the lines of the background paper well. I then stamped the vintage star chart stamp from the Star Gazer Additions set on top. The banner background was cut from a piece of bronze shimmer cardstock.
Once assembled, I then stamped the Pisces stamp from the Star Gazer set, and embossed the Pisces constellation above it in bronze embossing powder to complete the front of the card.
I love this! I've had Star Gazer in my wish list for simply ages. The best is the peek-a-boos you've cut in the top layer....
