Reach for the Stars

Happy FRIDAY, Friends with Flair!  It's been a while since I've been able to get a post up on Friday.  Life has been so busy.  My oldest broke his big toe (ouch), youngest was home for 3 weeks from his deployment, and 2nd youngest had his wisdom teeth removed.  I've been nurse-maid, travel and event planner, and chef.  I don't do it all the time anymore because my kids are older, but it was sure fun to be totally needed (for a while) again.

Today's card is being entered into this month's Unity {Be Inspired} challenge using the color palette and uses a Unity Stamp Company set from Phyllis Harris {Reach for the Stars} colored with TH Watercolor Distress Markers and Inks.  Some stickles and liquid pearls highlight those stars.


I used paper from my stash, UmWow Studio Confetti Stars, 3 Girl JAM crinkle ribbon and Timeless Twine.

I love that "bow"....so shiny and colorful.  Here's a close-up.



Hope you are all having a blessed Summer!

Craftily yours,

Karen

    Glad you were able to "mom" those young men of yours. I can relate to the big toe pain. My broken one is healing, but it sure did hurt for awhile. Your card is wonderful! You have mastered those distress markers! Love the confetti stars, ribbon, and twine.
