This card is a bit of a dogs breakfast because I needed to make it in a hurry and it looks like I have thrown everything at it! I know I could have just gone out and bought one, but I am being very tight at the moment and why spend a stupid amount on quite a plain an ordinary shop bought one, when I have a room full of bits to make one ….. so, in the end my meanness made me find the time!!!

I used a plain blue paper for the background and simply edged it with faux stitching using a white gel pen. The self adhesive letters are just a random selection from my box of alphabets, quickly assembled in the hope that I could fit them across the card when backed on the Papermania text printed paper, it was a squeeze, but I managed it without too much fiddle fart!

Once the letters were placed, the “empty space” annoyed me ….. stars were an obvious choice, but large metallic ones looked flat and lacked texture, so in the end I plumped for some wooden stars from Paperchase, and then added the small metallic stars after, which I think worked.

With a little more time, I think I could have done it a little better, some of the letter colours are a little bland and sort of blend into the background …… I think I could have possibly gone round them with a black fine liner pen to make them stand out a little more ……. but as I said, time was of the essence!

Well I think this looks pretty good actually. I like the letters on the printed backgrounds. I don't think I'd be able to come up with something so fun in a hurry.
I think you done good! Better than what I could do!! Great card!
Big hugs
