So Many Stars for AYSI 215 - Design Team Card


It's hard to believe that this is the last challenge for the year at As You See It. We'll be back with a new challenge on 3 January.

This time, it's 'Fill in the blank' week so all you have to do is create something that brings you holiday joy.

There were so many ways to fill out this blank but I decided that stars and wishes bring me joy at Christmas.

I like the Swirls and Curls embossing folder paired up with stars because it always reminds me of Van Gogh's Starry Night paintings. 

Here's the card flat, as it comes out of the envelope...


... but it's got a surprise when you stand it up. Doesn't the Mercury Glass Acetate give a pretty shine, layered up in the centrepiece and backed with some Seaside Spray?


We hope you can find a quiet moment or two in the hurly-burly of the next couple of weeks to show us how you see this challenge. You can join us until Wednesday 18 December.

You can see what the rest of the team have done, and link up to play, at the As You See It Challenge site.

So Many Stars for Paper Players 469

I love a sketch challenge and the latest one at The Paper Players is just my kind of thing. I just HAD to play it. Usually, the stubborn part in me kicks in and refuses to let me play with the shape that's been used in the sketch but this time around, it matched in with an idea I'd been toying with in my head for a few days.


I wanted to make a classic Christmas card in white and gold that used So Many Stars and this sketch gave me the impetus to do it. Here's the result.


I chose the Swirls and Curls embossing folder because it reminds me a bit of Van Gogh's Starry Night sky. For the gold foil mat and accent strip, I used the Subtle embossing folder to create a kind of faux ribbon strip but that folder also helps the foil reflect the light.


Update: Delighted to be chosen Headliner at The Paper Players!
