I started with a piece of very sparkly decorative paper. I punched stars in it with a Creative Memories star border punch. I punched on each edge. This decorative paper has so many colors depending on the reflection of the light. I chose a light aqua card which shows up the stars very nicely. I then needed a central element. I checked my collection of stamps and chose this Posh Impressions Joy stamp that I have owned for years! I stamped it in black on vellum then embossed it with Silver Sparkle embossing powder. I cut it down with Spellbinder Smooth Oval Nestabilities thin dies.
I then cut a piece of silver foil paper with the coordinating Scalloped Oval by Spellbinder. I mounted the vellum to the silver oval and then adhered this layer to the center of the card front.
I love the sparkle of this decorative paper and the silver sparkle coordinates really well with it.
