Base: white pre-scored card

Cardstock: SU - shimmery white, chocolate chip, baja breeze

Ink: SU - chocolate chip; CB - frost white craft

Stamps: Luxe - swirls; SU - holy triptych

Misc: Stampendous - white pearls e/p; MM - pearl glaze; SU - watercolor pencils, blender pen, ticket corner punch

Superstar

Cardstock: navy, cream
Stamps: Stars & Swirls
Ink: Versamark
Misc: metal tag, gems, tacky tape, Zots, pearl embossing powder, pearl glaze, navy grossgrain ribbon

This card is based on a design in the 04-05 SU catalog. Because this encouragement card is for a man, I made it more masculine with a different color scheme. I softened the metal curling tag by coating it with pearl glaze, which also ties in with the embossed stars that run along the side. The gems just punch it up a little (and cover up my whoopses with the embossing).
