Twinkle, twinkle little Star

I decided to play along with the Mojo Monday sketch challenge this week.  As it is the last Monday of the month, we are to create a round or square card.  Here is the sketch:

Here is the card I created using the sketch:

 I used a Provocraft star embossing folder.  The houndstooth pattern is from my stash and I stamped the small stars on white cardstock with a background stamp.  Ink I used is Colorbox - Chianti. The sentiment is from Verve which I stamped with the same ink as the background stamp. I punched out the large star from silver glittered paper.  The 2 smaller stars are flat back clear rhinestones but they appear to be blue in the photo.  I really like this card.

I made this card for my 2 yr. old granddaughter who loves Sesame Street.  Her favourite Sesame Street character is Elmo.  I dug out an Ernie doll I had and tossed him into the wash with the idea that Amber (my 2 yr. old granddaughter) would like him.  I thought I had checked him out all over but apparently I must have missed a hole as here is what poor Ernie looks like now:

Is there a doctor in the house??  I'm glad that I had put him in the washer by himself.  He is leaning against all the stuffing that I hauled out of the washing machine.  On the positive side, he is nice and clean and smells very nice as I used fabric softener when I washed him.  I still haven't decided yet if I will perform major surgery or not.  He is also missing one of his ears.
