PP156 and Paper Issues

I made a card based on the sketch from The Paper Players. I used product from my June kit at Paper Bakery.

I am also entering my card into the Paper Issues challenge to use Um Wow chipboard. My Um Wow chipboard stars came in my June kit.

I covered the largest star with washi tape.
