4. Now trace this second star onto the white corrugated cardstock.
5. Again cut this 3rd star out ¼ in larger following the trace line.
6. Ink the edges of both corrugated stars with distress ink.
7. Adhere the blue stars to the white stars and then adhere the kraft colored stars on top of the blue stars.
8. Adhere the letters you need to spell the word you have chosen to each star.
