Caffeinated Christmas Challenge July 24: Stars

Hello my caffeinated crafty friends!

This month I knew quickly what to make for the

Caffeinated Christmas Challenge Blog.

The theme this month is STARS.

This is my finished card with an image from

JessicaLynnOriginals - it is Brentwood!

He always appears when there is a Coffeelovers

blog hop.

For my card I used the new Distress SPRITZ

Tim Holtz just brought out. These have a wonderful

glimmer. I made the background with a star stencil.

I also used it on the image and some gold

(fossilized amber) on the sentiment.

It is a pity you cannot really see it.

Here a close up! I cut out  some stars and added

those on Brentwood and the cup on top of the hearts 

which were in the original digital stamp.

Thank you for looking and have a

wonderful caffeinated creative day!

Goodmorning Caffeinated Crafty Friends!

The challenge for the
