V-day Card #10: Stars

















So I was not feeling overly crafty tonight, but hubby decided to watch the State of the Union speech on TV and I didn't last more than a few minutes.  Even though I live in the Washington DC metro area, I'm not big on politics. 

So I headed to my studio and this is what happened.  I was trying for a more masculine color scheme.  I recently saw a blog post using Ocean Tides and decided to pull it out as my base.  I bought the Unity September store kit of the month a while back at my LSS, so I pulled it out to give it some inky love.  I've been on a bit of a border punch kick so I grabbed one of those too.  I added the bling at the end because it just sort of seemed blah and needed something.  I don't know if they helped or hurt, LOL.  For better or worse, just like us, it is what it is. 

PTI Ocean Tides cardstock, saddle stitched ribbon and ink; Vintage Cream cardstock; Bitty Stars patterned paper in Dark Chocolate; Scarlet Jewel ink and Star Prints stamp set.  Unity phrase stamp, Kaiser rhinestones, Martha Stewart stars border punch. 

Only 4 more to go!!!  I think I might actually get this done.  :-)
