Kathy's Waffle: Something Old, Something New

It is Lythan's turn to set the challenge for the Daring Cardmakers this week:

"I have gone for one that allows for "seasonal" choices but is also something fun if you have either smugly made all your cards or are still in denial about what happens near the end of December...
Something Old, Something New
Most paper crafters have something in their stash that they have bought but never got round to using. If that isn't you - well done! But you can still play along as the idea of this dare is to combine a new and unused/ fresh out of the packet and only used a little product with something that has been hanging round in your craft space for a while."

You can see all the cards we've made using our Old and New stash by visiting the BLOG, here.

OK so I may have indulged myself a little and bought a few new dies in the lead up to the Festive Season, but I've already used some of those for cards I've shown on here, so in the spirit of the dare, I actually chose to use the brand new, as yet unopened pack of nesting star dies to make my card this week.
My "Something Old" is pretty much everything else, but especially the papers, which I bought a couple of years ago but haven't really used much at all

Tools and Materials

Kraft Square card blank

Papers: Bazzill "Believe" 6x6 paper pack

Strip of Dark Red Bazzill card

Dark Red and Gold Glitter card

Gold Vellum

Gold cord

Decal sticker sentiment

Ink: Rhubarb Stalk dewdrop (Memento)

Nested Stars Die set (Taylored Expressions)

Tiny Stars punch - punches 6 at once (EK Success)

At first I only had the glitter card and "music paper stars, but it looked very dull, so I added another star cut from gold vellum and it's amazing the difference it made in brightening up the whole thing
The small stars are hanging loose on the cord strands so there's a bit of movement in the finished card too. I hope you like it
