Be the Star You Are

Be the star in your everyday life.  What do I mean by that statement?  Today, is anti-bullying day in Canada and wearing the pink shirt or anything pink means that you support the movement to end bullying.

The motto for this year’s Pink Shirt Day is “Kindness is One Size Fits All”.  Too many of our young people are loosing their lives to bullying and it must be stopped.  For the one that is being bullied, it is devastating and demoralizing.  For the one that is the bully, it is a feeling of superiority and control.

There is no acceptable reasons for bullying or being a bully.  It’s about treating people with kindness and respect.  Often you hear people’s reasoning for bullying is because they were bullied or there is something in their life that has made them start bullying others.

We often hear from the victims of bullying and empathize with them.  But what can we do as a collective society to end this type of behaviour?

Be the star you are by lending your support to the anti-bullying campaign today. #pinkshirtday

Now on to the card and thank you for taking the time to read my post on bullying.

Here is a birthday card that is for someone who is a star in their lives. This card was fun to create and I love the Going Global suite of stamp set and papers.

Recipe

Stamps: Going Global, Be the Star.

Ink/Markers: VersaMark.

Paper: Whisper White Thick, Basic Black, Sahara Sand, Gold Glimmer, Going Places DSP Paper Stack.

Accessories: Big Shot, Lucky Stars Embossing Folder, Star Framelits, Banner Framelits, Gold Emboss Powder.

I wanted this card to be sparkly and what is more sparkly than Gold Glimmer Paper and Gold Emboss Powder. The DSP was framed with the glimmer paper and the Big Dipper was stamped with VersaMark and embossed with Gold Emboss powder.

While I created this card as a Birthday Card, it can be used for Congratulation and Thinking of You cards.

Leave me a comment and let me know what occasions card you would create with this stamp set and paper .
