Hi there! It's time for an all new Simon Says Stamp Monday Challenge! This week's challenge theme is all about being inspired by the universe, galaxy, or anything else out of this world.
I gave a star shaped piece of home decor a new look for the upcoming holidays:
As the holiday season is right around the corner, I was inspired to alter a star shaped decoration with embossed Foil Cardstock. Adding a touch of color using pitch black acrylic paint along with African Jade paint added lots of depth and dimension. A finished it off with a stamped sentiment from Holiday Labels.
Thanks so much for visiting! I hope you enjoyed my project and I hope I have inspired you to give it a try and join along with the Simon Says Stamp Monday Stamp Challenge! Please be sure to visit the Simon Says Stamp Monday Stamp Challenge blog to see what the rest of the DT has created!

This is stunning! I adore the color palette and the metallic vibe is so elegant, yet still very cool. I like how your sentiment includes the word "blessed." It's a great word to associate with the holidays and reminds me how much there is indeed to be grateful for.
