It was easy to select the colours for the month of July in the  Stampin’ Up! Perpetual birthday calendar. The July image was stars and there are some real red star stickers in the kit. So I selected night of navy to go with the real red.

I stamped the stars in the two colours at the lower right hand side of the month as usual. Then I stamped the month in night of navy before stamping the star image in both night of navy and real red. I kept placing the big red star included in the kit over the page to see what effect I was creating. Once I was happy, I glued the star onto the sheet. I then stuck the three sizes of red star stickers from the kit around the images to create a layered look.
