Starring Off Cuts

A quick post to share a card I made for my Nephew. I don't know about you but I often end up with lots of strips of paper remnants, this was a good way to use some of them up. I roughly drew around the star die onto card then glued the strips of paper over it, by trimming them to slightly bigger than the drawn star. Once dry I then cut  and embossed the star, distressed the edges with inks and drew stitches around the edges. The background was embossed and distressed then pierced using a pattern making tool, instead of leaving just the piercing to show, something else was needed so I simply ran my fine liner over the piercing to fake some stitches.

The sentiment is some tape I bought from a local shop, the letters are clear and so the red card shows through from behind.

I'm using this card for the following challenges:-
DOCB 46, for a boy,
Papertake Weekly, Anything goes,
PTT110, Die cuts,
Here Come The Boys 47, No stamps,
PIO9, Happy Birthday,
