It's Monday again and that means it's time for another Merry Monday Challenge and we are to use Chocolate, Red, Stripes and Hearts or Stars. I love the inspiration photo that Lesley chose this week but I found it difficult to come up with a card I really liked and ended up making two very different cards. I embossed and shaped the Extra Large Stars and embossed the Whisper White mat. The Glimmer card Stars were coloured with a Copic Pen and mounted on Dimensionals for some added bling.
