Happy Tuesday and time for this week's colour palette at the colourQ!
There is something a little bit different this week, can you spot it?
I always forget to use newsprint. I think it is because I am a clean and simple designer and think that newsprint would be messy. For my newsprint this week I used it to create a dimensional star.
I created the dimensional star by die cutting 5 stars in white and one in newsprint, or in my case bookprint. My bookprint is from a romantic poetry collection that I studied in university, it is a William Blake piece. The bookprint is very thin and because I used my Xyron to get full glue coverage on the pieces I needed to apply the glue before die cutting. I did this by gluing a larger piece of the bookprint and adhered it too a white piece of cardstock before die cutting the star.

You've used the newsprint to perfection, Tracey ... love all of that wonderful dimension .. and all the other stars, of course! Anita :)
This is fabulous! What a wonderful job with the colors and awesome layout! I really need to get those stitched stars.
There's nothing messy about your bookprint star! I love the random arrangement and the little bits of bling!!
Not just stars but stars with stitched edges!! *Swoon*!!!
those stars are amazing.. awesome card..
This card just makes me happy Tracey! Cute sentiment too ;)
Ooh...I love that sentiment Tracey! Looks so cute with the stars. Thanks for explaining how you did the bookprint star...great idea!
Love, love your newsprint star! It does add that bit of somethin'-somethin' that really makes your card shine!
ohhh....stitched stars are perfect. nicely done.
Yes, love the newsprint Tracey!
What a great card! I really like how you stacked the star with the newsprint. I've had my eye on those Lil Inker stars, and after seeing your card, I may have to break down and buy them!
is this the most perfect interpretation of that inspiration photo, or what?! I've so enjoyed catching up on your posts today. You've definitely got me wising I had taken that card class.
