CPS 277-Part 1

Today I decided to join the Card Positioning Systems challenge.  The challenge was to create a card using the below layout.  This is a really fun layout!


My inspiration today came from one of my favorite quotes "Win without boasting.  Lose without excuse." by Albert Paysor Terhune.  So I immediately thought of sports. 

I had a "kit" that I had picked up called "Sports" by Colorbok.  All my items were from this kit except the black cardstock and the embellishment. I started by cutting out the card using black cardstock from my stash (7 1/4 x 10 1/2).  I used the army green grunge paper and cut it 1/4" less than the card.  I used the red numbers paper and the blue silver star paper as the lower rectangles.   Then I cut the red and white star strip from the die cut accents as the thin rectangle.  I stamped "You're a STAR" with glue on a small black rectangle and used Martha Stewarts White Gold glitter for the words and around the edges.

I thought this would be a nice card for a boy/young man-someone in sports. 



Thank you for looking and have a great day!
