Video: You're a Star

I made a card for the February card challenge at the Hero Arts blog. I decided to be really radical and chose the option to make a card with a "unique fold." As you can see below, my fold change-up is pretty tame, but it's not the "same ol', same ol'" so it counts! (I think it's called a gate fold when you have each side fold into the middle, but don't hold me to that.)

 

I had to remake the card for the video, so here's version #2 - almost identical, as you can see.

Can you spot the seven differences in these two photos? Be careful - one of them is really tricky! (Answers at the end of the post.)

I used a sentiment stamp that reads "You're a Sweetheart", but the capital "y" had a hanging tail that was too long for my banner. So I decided to ink the first two words with VersaMark and then wipe the ink off the tail of the "y." I ended up with an almost invisible "You're a." After the ink had dried, I took a finepoint marker and traced all of the lowercase letters and the top of the "y." I drew my own tail for the "y" so it would fit on the banner. Easy-peasy!

Did you find the seven differences in the photo? They are: 

1. Card #1's banner is higher on the card;
2. The gems are placed differently on each card;
3. The striped star is stamped on different patterned papers;
4. Card #2's smallest star is stamped with a star in its center;
5. Card #2's background is black; 
6. Card #2's smallest star is adhered with foam dimensional squares;
7. The stamp of the large star is oriented differently in the two cards (Card #1's center-most "STAR" is upside down).

Just love your star card and video, Deborah! You remind me of my friend, Julie, who always rearranges the same element (only she takes about an hour to decide - LOL). Thanks for sharing!!

I have soooo been there on "star placement". Love the video and the end result, Deborah!! Tell your sweetheart I now have a new favorite KK joke. Has she heard the one about the interrupting cow?
