You're My Star

**WooHoo This card is a Top Three Winner at Inspired By Stamping Inspirational Challenge 4/11/12 and Top Three Winner at The Kraft Journal 4/17/12**

Hello everyone! I hope you are doing well and you had a wonderful Easter full of blessings!  I am popping in with a card using some pretty pastel tones today along with some beautiful flowers.

I just love these colors together.  I started this card by taking a piece of scrap Whisper White cardstock and using the letterpress technique.  I inked up the lattice embossing folder using New Sprout ink and ran it through my Big Shot. As you can see, this gives the lattice impression along with the subtle green in the background.  A strip of yellow checked, gingham patterned paper was added to the bottom of the lattice paper rounding the corners of the right card front to match the rounded corner of my Kraft card base. A length of beautiful lace trim was added across the lower portion of the card front.

I added a hand dyed doily to the card front next adding a strip of floral patterned paper from My Mind's Eye Market Street collection I had left over from another make. A star was diecut and stamped from Waltzingmouse: Seasons of Love in New Sprout Ink. The sentiment was added to the center in Versafine  Vintage Sepia inking the edges with Tea Dye. Various paper roses were added to the top. A row of buttons were threaded with twine and added to the card to complete the look.

I was greatly inspired by the color challenge at Inspired by Stamping Inspiration Challenge.

Before I go, here is the bunny trail of eggs the Easter Bunny leaves from the front door to the basket. Makes my little one giddy every year. I cherish this for these times are going to be far and few in the future as he grows up and is getting big.

Thanks for stopping by and have a terrific week!
