Hello! I've got a clean-and-simple card to show you today, using shimmer paints and glitter from Creative Inspirations Paints.
Next, I used Turquoise and Evergreen paints on the stars. The paint dries so quickly, which I love (keeps my crafting train going full steam ahead!).
I painted on Aleene's Tacky Craft Glue, then sprinkled Resplendence Angel Dust glitter, also available from Creative Inspirations. This glitter is super fine, and SUPER iridescent and sparkly. Bee-autiful.
A sentiment from Hero Arts and a scattering of rhinestones fit just perfectly among the sparkly stars.
As for the card bottom, I used Tumbled Glass ink and the Houndstooth background stamp from Market Street Stamps along the bottom of the card base. A bit of lace and Wild Wasabi ribbon from my scraps add interest.
On another note, I'm proud to say that my 'Prayed for You' card won a Froggin' Fantastic Four award over at Lily Pad, for the Vera's View challenge. Yay!
And I earned a Heroine award at A Blog Named Hero for my
'Double the Damask' card. :-) (the one with the single tulip)
Thank you SO much for joining me! Enjoy your day!
Dimensions: 4.25" x 5.5"
Stamps: Essential Messages - Hero Arts; Houndstooth - Market Street Stamps

It all began with my star punch and a box of cereal. One day in May, I just sat and punched out as many stars as I could from the box's chipboard. I got quite a few!
In order for the Creative Inspirations paints to show up best, I wiped each star first with a white craft ink pad.

Thanks for letting me share these things with you! No one else quite understands what it means to win an award for a card, unless it's another card-maker. ;-) The family just doesn't get it, most of the time.
