Addicted to Stamps...and stars!

I am SOOO in love with the Christmas Star single stamp. It is so beautiful no matter what color you stamp it in!  I also love that you can stamp it and leave it flat or you can score it and fold it for some dimension. Which I was going to do on this card, by the way, but I forgot! DOH! Our challenge this week at Addicted to Stamps and More! is CAS. I decided to combine that with the challenges at Just Add Ink (star inspiration), Create with Connie and Mary and Dynamic Duos.  That's a lot of challenges for a CAS card! lol

I chose silver as my color of choice. It looks gorgeous with Midnight Muse!
The base of my card is Brushed Silver cardstock. I stamped the star with the Silver Encore ink pad and cut it out. I sure wish we had some star framelits!  The little "joy" is from Endless Wishes. This is one stamp set I don't think I will ever be able to part with!  I don't have many of those!

Stamp Sets: Christmas Star, Endless Wishes
Cardstock: Midnight Muse, Brushed Silver, Whisper White
Ink: Silver Encore, Midnight Muse
Tools: Northern Flurry Embossing Folder, Envelope Punch Board to round the corners
Accessories: Dimensionals

    This stamp is a beauty! I like that it isn't scored to create the dimension because this looks wonderful how it is!! The silver and midnight muse are a perfect match too. xx

    I like how your beautiful star pops out with that lovely embossed background panel. Atleast cutting out this image it has straight lines, but a star framelit would makes things a lot quicker! Thanks for joining in with our challenge this week at Just Add Ink.
