Papercraft Star Challenge #27

     The Papercraft Star challenge this week is to make a project based on one of your New Year's resolutions.  To be honest, at this same time last year you couldn't have convinced me that I would:

1. Have a blog
2. Make videos and post them on YouTube
3. Make cards, enter them in challenges and actually win and place
4. Be accepted as a member of several Design Teams
5. And make some AWESOME new friends--ONLINE!

     It's been a crazy adventure and I've loved every minute of it!  Now it's a New Year and the start of a new adventure and I can only hope it's as great as 2010!
     When I saw this little guy (I'm crazy about Mo Manning's images!!) focusing in his spyglass, I knew this was what I needed to make my card with.  I really want to focus on figuring out who I am as a crafter in the upcoming year.
     I got my second set of Copics for Christmas and it has made the shading and blending so much easier.  I still have a lot to learn, like all that light source stuff, but I'm happy with how it came out.  I used a little blue chalk around the image just to accent.  I hope you can see the 3-D on the stars.  I found that image online, printed it in three different sizes, and used a ruler and embossing tool to go over all the lines.  Then I folded all the scores and it made the star have all that great dimension.  I put a little Stickles on the edges for some sparkle.  The sentiment just had to be finished so I finished the inside of the card too.

  

     This week's sponsor is Catherine Pooler, our guest designer this week.  Catherine is offering our lucky winner a subscription to her Club Inbox for Stampin' Up. 

     Our Grand Prize Sponsor for the month of January is Pink Cat Studio Digi Stamps .  Every time you enter one of our challenges this month your name will go into the drawing for five FREE digi stamps!!  WOOHOO!!  Their stamps are adorable. :)
     I'm entering this card in the challenge at Mo's DP2 challenge.
