Congratulations Card for the Paper Players and Cuttlebug Mania

This card was made for a fine young man who just passed an entrance exam to be  a policeman.  It came together pretty quickly following the wonderful sketch by the Paper Players.

Close to My Heart products used:
     Tommy striped paper (retired)
     White Daisy CS
     Honey CS
     Smarty Pants stamp set
     Sapphire Ink
     Happy Times gold foil paper (Design Space star cut out of it)
   
Other products:
    Cuttlebug Star embossing folder
    Pebbles Pearlescent Jewel Tone chalks

Here is the Paper Players sketch that inspired this card:

     

I'm also entering this card into the Cuttlebug Mania challenge to use embossing.

Thanks for stopping by!  Have a wonderful week filled with fun and creativity!
