Christmas Star

The August Embellishment challenge at 52 {Christmas} Card Throwdown is to use chipboard on your card. I created my own chipboard by using the stiff backing sheet from a pack of 12x12 paper and adhering a gold mulberry paper onto the "homemade chipboard". Then I ran it through my Big Shot with a Sizzix Bigz die, Star, Nested Hanging.  I did not use the largest star since it was bigger than my standard A2 card.

I also cut a piece of the "chipboard" with a Spellbinders Fancy Tags 3 tag. I wanted to stamp onto the mulberry paper with the navy ink but it would not accept the ink. So I had to trace an oval onto white card stock from the die, cut it out, and then stamp the sentiment from a Stampin' Up set, Star Studded Season. I wanted to put rhinestones at the tip of each start point but that made it a little too busy -- so I settled for four of them on the fancy tag!

The inside of the card uses a stamp from Flourishes set, The First Noel. A Martha Stewart corner punch was used on the white card stock that I adhered to the navy card base.
