Christmas Card Club Challenge #2 North Star / Any Stars

Hi Crafters,

Our second Christmas challenge of the year is underway at the Christmas Card Club and Maureen has chosen 
North Star / Stars




Recipe
Creative Expressions Dies - Christmas Scene & Swirling Stars
Crafters Companion Embossing Folder - Reindeer Forest & Corner Dies
Spellbinders Alphabet Dies
Mirri Card

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I had a lot of trouble with glare from the mirri card on this one, if I angled the card to stop the glare from the silver frame then I had a shine on the stars and vice-versa, so this was the best I could get.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

C.R.A.F.T. Challenge - #399 Christmas

So very elegant & classy, with this fab SW die set. Love how you've brought the star theme into the design, and your mirror card showed up superbly. It gleams...and is so pretty with this shade of rich red. TFS & Hugs (Keep meaning to say I like your new photo too).
