This post brings you to a card created for the Paper Craft Crew Card Sketch Challenge #PCC350

I am continuing on my journey to create all cards this week with the So Many Stars Bundle, one or all. This card is completed with all die cuts from the Stitched Stars Die set (including the flourish – aside from loving all the stitched dies – I adore the flourish, so fun so pretty and can be used in so many ways.)

I created this card to give to my son! He has Freshman High School Basketball Tryouts next week, starting on Monday through Thursday, cuts begin on Tuesday. He is so nervous. Basketball is his life, he has been playing since he was 4. He is nervous as a old wet hen, can’t blame him. I have been giving him inspirational quotes and various “you got this” cards for a week already – this will be the big inspirational “gift” on Monday morning as he heads out the door to catch the bus. I won’t see him again until 5:00pm, believe you me I will also be nervous as an old wet hen the entire day. If you wouldn’t mind, keep him in your prayers for the next week or so.

This card was pretty quick to get together once my mind finished racing through ideas and finally landed on a potential design. The card base is a half sheet of Basic Gray cut to 5-1/2″ x 8-1/2″ scored at 4-1/4″. The mat is Whisper White cardstock cut to size and the focal panel is Basic Black. The stars are cut from Silver Foil and some Champagne Glitter paper from my stash. The sentiment is stamped in Whisper White pigment ink on Basic Gray card. The sentiment, ” The distance between dreams and reality is called action. Make it Happen!” is from an Altenew set I have in my stash called Happy Days.

Thanks again for stopping by and spending a bit of your time with me. I hope you enjoyed learning about this Suite in the 2019 Holiday Catalog. Hopefully you were even inspired a bit. Below are pictured links to all the items in this suite and the othr coordinating sets, click the link of the item to be taken to the online store where you can learn more about each item. I will return soon with something new. Until then keep crafting, exploring and creating. See you soon.

UPDATE: As luck would have it, the challenge was closed early, apparently due to lack of entries. Mine would have been the only one.
