Today I have another card using this week's colour combo of Steel Blue, Raven, Pomegranate and Salt. 
The card is a basic centre step card.  To make the embossed cardstock really stand out, I've rubbed a versamark pad lightly over the surface.  This gives a slightly darker shade of the Pomegranate to the raised areas.
I've embellished the Parisian Accent Die with some Swarovski Crystals, and although it is difficult to see in the photo these really do sparkle.

Welcome to another Turorial Tuesday. Today's tutorial from Kirsty, is for a window card with the addition of some "dangly stars."


Products Used:

Bazzill Basics Paper:

9960D Kraft

JustRite Stamps:

Dare to Dream

Other Materials Used:

Buttons
October Afternoon Printed Paper

Instructions:

Step One:

Cut a piece of Kraft CS 6x12 inches. Score this strip every 4 inches and fold into thirds.


Step Two:


Cut a frame from the front of your card, leaving a border of about 1.5cm. From your patterned paper, cut a rectangular frame as shown with about a 1cm border. This should fit around the outside of the frame cut into the front of your card.



Step Three:

Roughly sketch some stars onto a scrap of card or paper, and use these to cut your dangly stars out. Cut two of each so you can sandwich your embroidery floss between the layers. Stamp your JustRite sentiment onto some card, and again sketch then cut out a star around the sentiment.


Step Four:

Attach your dangly stars to the top of your card, allowing them to dangle



Step Five:

Adhere your patterned paper frame to hide the ends of your embroidery floss, adhere your sentiment to the top left hand corner and some buttons on the bottom right hand corner.
