SURVIVOR - April entry

Soul Scrappers is celebrating the site's 10th anniversary in 2020, with a SURVIVOR-themed year long challenge.  It's modelled on the reality tv show, except there will be no eliminations.  I've signed up and I will be sharing my creations on my blog.

** Participants can sign up all year - and there's also a random element so everyone has a chance to earn points and win some scrappy prizes **

The theme for the April challenge is STARS, and this is my layout:

Materials

Rose Moka Mec - Charmant patterned paper
Collette Stuck on You puffy alphabet stickers
Portacraft Glitter Foam stars

The brief was - You must scrap a page with as many stars as you can possibly add!

I thought the best way to add zillions of stars was to use lots of tiny ones... and so I decided to make some shaker embellishments. This was the first time I've ever done this, so there was a bit of trial and error involved. In the end I cut up some display sheets, machine-stitched the edges, filled the pockets, then stitched the last little bit.



I've never wanted or needed a fuse tool before now, but now I can definitely appreciate how handy it would be! My sewing machine didn't want to play the game at first, so I a few dodgy practice runs.  I tucked one of the 'reject' stars behind the title:



And another detail shot from the bottom of the page, showing the larger sequins in the big star, and tiny ones in the other:
