Celebrating the Eclipse with an Eclipse Card!

As the celestial dance of today's eclipse unfolds across the skies, it beckons us not just to watch but to partake in its cosmic ballet through the art of crafting.

Each sparkly Rhinestone star I placed is a whisper from the universe, reminding us of the beauty that lies in the night sky. This project is more than a card; it's a bridge between us and the vast, mysterious universe, made tangible through the art of paper crafting.
