So thankful square card with star theme for PPCC blog DT project no 437

Oddball Art is the sponsor for the newest week of participation (anything goes in paper-crafting theme ) for Penny's Paper-Crafty Challenges blog! #437


Three images were given to the DT crew and with this one featured on my card, I wanted to highlight the stars, so before printing, I edited with watercolor shape outlining to add the black star and the red Star of David. For the gold paint star outline and outer fussy cut edge, I just followed the outside furthest points. Go to Oddball Art's shop to see the full digital image (link will be on the PPCC #437 post; plus check out the other offered images to the DT and how the others created with them).


Details:
The base CS is 7" square and the background paper is 6" square--both from my mid-June selected partial sets/pads of papers! (older stock I'm trying to use and mentioning old...the star stickers are old and the little sentiment was leftover from last Thanksgiving!!!) Isn't this card just the cutest?!!!

I gave the gal some rosy cheeks and a bit of a pink nose too. You can decide if she's a tad sunburned or maybe overwrought with emotion...hmmm

Have I said how much I love this card??? The colors have just coordinated so well!! Each of the main star shapes have a different tone of blue. My purpose was to re-create varying shades of a night sky without going to dark full night.

other challenge blogs to participate or Facebook groups to share include the following=

 (a & b)= The bright pink base is from cardstock partial set and the wave 6" square is from 1 of 2 small paper pads that I've added to my 2019's 100 PPC challenge (Facebook group) and to use for June's Paper Pad Madness challenge at Bash Your Scrapbook Stash (Facebook group).

Here are the paper picks I started with back on June 15th:

More pics of this super cute card! I just loved how all the elements came together! I little bit of black inking around the base perimeter and corners. And I added a blue marker outlining after adhering the large focal image to the background and base, which just adds more blue and keeps repeating the star points. Don't you think this is adorable????





Hope you enjoy another vibrant card creation for the 2nd half of June and into early July. The cardstock partial set is dwindling the fastest. I'm making a dent in the 6"square paper pad but not fast enough to wipe it out soon. Goodness! I've been making a card about every 2 days for 2-3 weeks...it's like the paper is multiplying on me!!!!

Surely I'm not the only crafter who feels like this????
