*NOTE*
CHALLENGE RULES UPDATE
We have now changed the challenge rules to 3 entries per person per challenge except for the Anything Goes challenges which will be unlimited.
 
 Here is what I created this week for the challenge



I decided to use my cricut expression to make my card. I loaded up my artiste cartridge and cut this card at 6" from some deep plum CS from Recollections. I cut out the stars from the same cartridge on teal and light blue papers also from Recollections, at 3/4", 1",  1 3/4" and 2". I then cut out the teal and light blue shape from the elegant edges cartridge at 2 1/2" and 3".
 
I ran the card base through my ebosser using the "Smitten" folder by Anna Griffin. I layered all my stars together and layered my main shapes together. I used the Kudos Stamp Set from CTMH to stamp the star that says "super" and the sentiments, "You're the best" and "Congrats". This stamp set comes with the Artiste bundle and made stamping it onto my cut out star a snap! I stamped these images in versafine and used my Ranger's white embossing powder and heat embossed each one. I then stamped my sentiment, "Follow your dreams" from Cardz TV Stamp's set called "More Encouraging Thoughts" in soft lilac by Hero Arts. I ran this sentiment piece through my ebosser using my swiss dots embossing folder to give it some texture. To finish off my card I added some purple sequins and used my white sakura pen to add some white dots.
