Star Studded (CFC #16)

Ready for another fun-filled Friday here on the ole blogaroo?  This week's CAS-ual Fridays challenge is to use one of my all-time favorite techniques - EMBOSSING!  It can be dry embossing or heat embossing.  I LOVE heat embossing.  It was one of the very first techniques I ever learned and when I first saw that powder melt away, I instantly fell in love.  There's so much you can do with it.

For today's card, I used some stars from this week's sponsor The Stamps of Life.  I LOVE this set.  I have been needing to fill my star stamp craving for a while and this is it.  In fact, one of the beautiful stars from this set will be featured using a kissing technique in an upcoming issue of Paper Crafts.  Too bad it is still about 5 months out. Super sad face.

Super happy face to today's card.  Take a look:


The stars are all embossed in silver and cut out.  The sentiment is also from that same set.  I'm realizing that I need to be better about listing what supplies I use on my blog, so I'm going to TRY (please don't take my word for it) to start doing supply lists at the end of my posts.  Have a great day everyone and please click over to the CAS-ual Fridays blog to see what everyone else has done.
