I am so excited! It is time for the Papertrey Ink 2nd Anniversary festivities to start!!!! Today is all about favorites. Nichole asked each of us to pick a favorite set to give away on our blogs! That's 11 chances to win a Papertrey Ink stamp set!!
Picking a favorite is a little hard to do, though. I have so many sets that are my favorites. I finally decided on the Background Basics: Stars set since it was the set I used to create one of my favorite cards last year. I love stamping patterned papers and I love all the different star patterns in this set. It is another must have set for me.
I started by creating my card base (A2) and stamping the upper 3/4 with the Background Basics: Stars set and dark chocolate ink. I sponged some dark chocolate ink on the edges. Then, I cut a 1 inch strip of white cardstock. I stamped the stars from Around and About Sentiments in pure poppy ink and the sentiment in true black. I added a dark chocolate mat before adding it to my card. I stamped the same sentiment again on white cardstock using the circle version. I stamped the star in pure poppy ink and punched the sentiment out using a one inch circle punch. I added a dark chocolate scalloped mat and used foam adhesive to add the sentiment to my card. Lastly, I added red rhinestones in the centers of the stars.
Now, be sure to check out all the designers blogs for a chance to win one of their favorite stamp sets. You can enter in the drawing until midnight Eastern. The winners will be announced on Nichole's blog and in the Anniversary Celebration thread on the forum. Here are the links to the other design team ladies' blogs:

I absolutely *love* your colour combos!!! I love that blue with the red...and the brown with the blue (it's very delicious!!!). I think stars have a certain coolness about them. =)
Great cards and I love the addition of the "bling.

Niki, thank you so much for all the work you do for Papertrey! I love to come check out your blog everytime they have a new set coming out! You do awesome work! Someday I hope to be on the design team myself. Of course it would help not having 9 children living at home...maybe I'd have a little more time! Again thank you...my fav set is the new holiday tag set.
I haven't gotten any of the background stamps but after seeing your cards in this post I will definitely have to add them to my wish list for Valentine's Day!! Beautiful!
