Seize the Birthday Challenge #282 - Off the Edge

Fun challenge for sure.  Because I mail out 99% of my cards, I kept the off-the edge on the inner front portion. [I don't like cutting off to fit in the envelope.]  

I blended 3 Distress Oxide inks for the background panel.  On a separate panel I stenciled on the same colors, and then cut out the stars.

I used a sentiment from Woodware Craft, One Liners.

The stars looked a little boring, so I added some glitter to them.  

At least in this close up, you can see it.


Okay, your turn.  Come on over to Seize the Birthday Challenge and play along.  While off-the-edge is optional, being a birthday card is not.  Have fun.

The black edge on your card really gives it a lot of contrast and those stars really pop.

This is terrific, Vicki, I love that your off-the-edge is contained but I'm also drawn to those fun-loving stenciled stars!
