This one was a fun one to do. I knew I wanted to do something with stars when I heard the colors. I used a die set from Lil' Inkers called Stitched Star Dies. I love these dies because they also make a stitched line on the negative piece of card stock. In this case, I decided to do an inlay effect so you can see both sets of stitch lines. The little stamped stars are from a PTI set called Scene It Celebration. The sentiment is from a PTI set called Birthday Cheer.
Please visit the Just Us Girls page to see the beautiful cards the rest of the team and our two Guest Designers, Deepti & Vicki, have made this week. I hope you will be inspired and come play along with us.
If you win Chic of the Week in any of our January challenges, you will be in the running to be chosen as our Guest Designer for the month of March. Good luck!

At first i was thinking that this color combo would be hard to come up with something, but your card tells me different. Love the stray of stitched stars in various blues. and the banner is to die for with the sentiment. It details the Happy Birthday very well. Anther great job, Sharyn.
