Use Star Dream Metallic Cardstock for Amazing Shine

 Have you tried using Star Dream Metallic Cardstock for most of a floral card front? Today I am posting for CutCardStock. Today I did just that! I used Stardream for the blooms, leaves and background. Check out the pearly shine!

Create the Blooms and Leaves

This is the Whimsical Flower Vine from Altenew. Use Fairway Stardream for the leaves, Punch for the flower bases and Rose Quartz for the top petals. Stardream is a solid cardstock with a subtle pearl like shine. It comes in a variety of colors. Often, I will use Stardream for the accent pieces, but I decided to go big this time and used it for most of the cover panel. Assemble the blooms using liquid glue. Attach the blooms to the leaves.

Emboss the Star Dream Metallic Base Panel

Use a small panel 3 x 5 inches of Crystal Stardream Cardstock and emboss using an embossing folder of your choice. I used an Altenew folder

Assemble the Card

Cut a panel from Punch Stardream slightly larger to frame the embossed panel. Attach the embossed panel in the center. Attach the panel to an A2 card using Cougar 110 lb. White Cardstock. I use this weight of cardstock for all my card bases to add strength. There is not much room for a sentiment, so be selective. I wanted my small sentiment to pop so I used a small die also from Altenew, die cut in Pop tone Black Licorice and popped up with foam tape for interest.
