Stellar Welcome Home

I've got a stellar card to share today that's also my sample for the new Splitcoaststampers Mix-Ability Challenge, MIX284: Stars, Fireworks, and Galaxy, Oh MY!

It was about time we had something to urge us into doing a stellar background that has been so popular, plus the crafters in the US just had our independence day celebration and we'd love to keep using our stars and firework supplies, right? 

Stop on by Splitcoaststampers Forum today and look for the new Mix-Ability challenge!

Supplies and instructions are below, enjoy and have a great weekend!
