Celebrate

For today's card I decided to play with Sweet Sunday's Sketch Challenge #274.  I loved the simple design of this sketch!  The possibilities were endless.

I originally thought I was going to use a flower as the accent piece instead of the star and use some nice floral paper.  As you can see, that's NOT how it turned out!  After looking through my papers I decided I needed to make a more masculine card.  Patriotic themed paper is always appropriate for the men in your life.  Still thinking I was going to use a circle accents, I searched through my stamps and my embellishments. I found a package of star and gem Christmas ornament stickers from Jolee's Boutique.  It was my lucky day.   To pick up on the gold accent of the star, I gold embossed the cardstock beneath the pattern paper.  Added banner and voila', the perfect male card!
