Star Studded Birthday Card

This card is made using a 6ins x 6ins, pre-scored, manufactured card blank from a Hobbycraft pack.
This card was embarrassingly simple to put together, I know with us being in lockdown I really do have all the time in the world to fiddle fart, but at the moment I just haven't got the spark to get me going.  However, I had two cards to make for April birthdays ....... so I had no choice other than knuckle down.

The paper and self adhesive letters both came from the So Cool Christmas range from Hobbycraft from about two years ago, but I found that they could also work just as well for birthdays.  I am pretty sure that the gold glitter frame was also from Hobbycraft.
I covered the front of the card blank with the star patterned paper and then glued a piece of white card behind the frame before adding the letters and a scattering of tiny silver stars and groups of three dots using a black fine liner pen. Simples, but I wish I had also taken a picture of the bombsite created in my lounge while I was trying to come up with the idea ...... now that's it would tell a very different story!
