A Star Welcome

This card is for another Color Throw Down Challenge. This week (ctd562) the colors given were cobalt blue, aqua, gray, and black. From my Stampin' Up! arsenal I chose: Pacific Point, Coastal Cabana, Smoky Slate, and Basic Black. 

Complete Supply List
I used the Stitched Stars dies from the 2019 Holiday Catalog to cut various stars from Coastal Cabana and Pacific Point cardstock. I inked an acrylic block directly with Smoky Slate ink, spritzed it with water, and stamped it on a piece of old naturals cardstock I had in my stash to create a gray bar in the background. (I wrote an entire blog post on this technique a while back.) Then I layered the stars on top.

I used the Well Written dies from the Annual Catalog to cut the "welcome" greeting from Basic Black cardstock. I lined this up with the bottom left edge of the gray bar to balance the stars that are grouped on the right side of the card. Finally, I tied a simple bow using White Baker's Twine and mounted my image on Basic Black cardstock and then on a Coastal Cabana card base.

When I finished, I realized I hadn't used a single rubber stamp! Dies are wonderful for creating dramatic cards quickly and easily. I think I'll make another rubber stamp-free card for Wednesday - maybe I can keep the trend up all week!

I'd love to see cards you made without using rubber stamps or cards inspired by this color challenge. Leave your comments below.
