Crafty Collaborations Monochromatic Color Challenge Week 10 Starry Sky

It's time to check out Week 10 of the Crafty Collaborations Monochromatic Color Challenge and this week we are creating with the beautiful Starry Sky, one of the 2022-2024 In Colors. I love this dark blue as an alternative to Night of Navy and I can't wait to share with you the card design I have created.

For today's card design, I chose to use the new Happy Little Things Bundle, which is one of the new Online Exclusives released this week. I love the sentiments in this stamp set and the coordinating dies make it simple to die cut the smaller sentiments to add as an accent. I paired it with the Nested Essentials Dies to create the focal sentiment label and I used one of the designs from the 2022-2024 In Colors 6"x6" Designer Series Paper to create a fun, bold background. This card design would work well as a masculine card and could be used for birthdays, graduations and so much more to help celebrate a special day.

This clean and simple card design focuses on the sentiments from the Happy Little Things stamp set. I chose to use the large outline image for the Celebrate sentiment to heat emboss it onto Starry Sky cardstock using Silver Embossing powder to make it pop. I used the Nested Essentials to die cut the sentiment label and then layered it onto a slightly larger Basic White cardstock label also die cut with the Nested Essentials Dies. For the small sentiment, I stamped the image onto Basic White cardstock using Starry Sky Classic ink and then die cut it out with the smaller of the two dies from the Happy Little Things Dies. I then layered it onto the Starry Sky label die cut with the larger banner die. For the embellishments for this design, I added two pieces of the Starry Sky Metallic Woven Ribbon around the center of the polka dot card front, spacing them about 1/2" apart and attaching them to the back of the card front, before attaching the layer to the card base. I added both sentiments using Stampin' Dimensionals to pop them up. To complete the design, I added several Starry Sky Pearls to both sentiment labels for a touch of subtle bling. So there you have it. A wonderful card design featuring a beautiful dark blue that I hope you will love as much as I do. Let me know what you think in the comments.
