Seize the Birthday - Make a Wish Upon Your Birthday Star

 Here is my second  challenge card as a Surprise Party Guest over at Seize the Birthday.  

Today the challenge is: Add a Star 



And here is my card:
An Astrological Birthday Chart!

I used a retired stamp set from PTI called Star Gazer Additions.  The background is DP.  I added some tiny gold Star Confetti from Honey Bee around the stamped stars and brushed over the stamped stars and the lines on the map with Clear Glitter Wink of Stella that doesn't show up in the photo but adds shimmer IRL!

So we hope you will join us over at Seize the Birthday - you can add a star to your design or just make it birthday!  Check out the lovely inspiration from the ever so talented Design Team here.

I'm also linking my card to:

Stars  ends 6/30





Stamps:  Star Gazer Additions - PTI (retired)
Paper:  DP Dainty Flowers 12x12 - SU (retired)
Ink:  Nocturne - Versafine Clair
Accessories:  Clear Glitter Wink of Stella, Gold Star Confetti - Honey Bee.

A great birthday card for those that don't really care for flowers. (I have a friend like that) Or for a masculine card with I find hard to do. I have not seen this stamp before.
