This week, I am the Card Captain over at
Michael Strong Stamps Yahoo Group.
My card uses Michael Strong's larger
Cloisonne Star Stamp- there is a smaller star with the same design in this set as well. I embossed the image using Silver E.P. on Navy cardstock. The background is Red, Navy and Metallic Silver using an older Technique Junkies UFO.......from my stash. I wanted a striped pattern, so embossed the stripe EF from SU, but left the stripes as is- no highlighting with ink....... My husband says it is not traditional enough..... Well.....I like it- I won't give it to him.....hehehe. I added shimmer around the sentiment and the edge of the card with a Sakura Gelly Roll Pen.The sentiment is retired
SU.

Shelly, I love this "non-tradional card". And tell your husband Traditional is not always FUN!! Thats what makes it FUN about creating your own cards. You can BE very creative. As always you Rock with your BG. TFS
Love it Shelly - and stick to your guns as far as your hubby goes - you are the card maker, not him :-)
