Shoot for the Stars!

Supplies:  pp - Dear Lizzy for American Crafts (SC), 

red cardstock - Canson, black versafine ink, white stars -  

Blue Note Card Kit (SC), sentiment stamp - SSS, 6x6 card

As you know I love shaker cards and made this quick one without the fuss of hiding the "mechanism" of the shaker by using machine stitching to sandwich tiny enamel stars between a layer of acetate and patterned paper (Studio Calico - Marks & Co Card Kit).

This week's challenge on Paperplay is - "Back to Kraft Basics" and we are very kindly sponsored by Simon Says Stamp.

I decided to keep this very simple and let the "kraft base" be my focal point with pops of white!  I used the stamps that came in the March Card Kit from Simon Says Stamp.

I coloured the stamped image with white colouring pencil and love how it pops against the white.  I then punched a butterfly which I inked with distress ink and a blending tool and did the same with the chipboard frame.

Thanks for peeking.  Hope you get a chance to play along with us this week.  Be sure to check out the other gals creations right here.
