Reach for the Stars


As I wait oh so patiently for my SU! stamps, I am going through some stamp sets I have not yet used. I picked up this Verve Visual set when it was on clearance a month or two ago because my daughter loves stars. I thought this would be a good card for her, starting college next week. I stamped it very simply, layering each of the stars with pop up dots in-between.

I also used a real cool pen for the doodling on the outside and the inside. You do not really see it on the outside, but here is a semi-clear zoom on the inside page. The pen writes in silver with a purple outline! So cool! I think these are the same pens Gina K now sells on her site. I picked up a purple outline pen and a pink outline pen, made by Pentel...now just looking for ways to use it!

Really pretty card! You know, I am sure I had those pens in several different colors when I was in high school...guess they are making a comeback along with all of the 80's styles-yikes!!
