Good morning!
Well, Friday has come around quick! And it’s time for a new challenge over on the Daring Cardmakers blog!
This week Miri has challenged us to feature a sunburst on our cards, so I dusted off the Pop Out Sunburst die from Pinkfresh Studio:
Stamps: The Stamp Market – Eat Cake
Dies: The Stamp Market – Eat Cake, Pinkfresh Studio – Pop Out Sunburst, Spellbinders – Fluted Classics Circles, The Greetery – Bold Numbers, The Greetery – Christmas Pudding
I never seem to go the easy route with rainbow die-cutting projects. I could have just run this die through my machine with white cardstock and inked all the rays separately.
But no, I delved into my pack of Tropical AC cardstock and pulled out 9 colours to run through my Big Shot and then spent much of my Sunday afternoon assembling all the sunburst rays to create 9 card bases ready to be used in future.
For the focal point, I used the Fluted Classes Circles dies from Spellbinders with some Azalea pink cardstock and some white cardstock, which I then splattered with Picked Raspberry Distress Ink.
This provided the background to the Bold Number 9 cut from gold cardstock, and I added a sentiment from The Stamp Market’s Eat Cake set, plus a layered up glittery bow from The Greetery’s Christmas Pudding die set.
Finally, I went to town with the rainbow sequins I received many moons ago in a Simon Says Stamp card kit. I only have a few of the teeny ones left now, but I wish I could get more, they match rainbow colours perfectly.
The closest I’ve found are the Studio Katia Crystal Rainbow Fusion sequin mix. I’ve searched and searched in the UK for this or something similar, but no joy.
Ah well, it’s not like I’m short of other sequins. 😉
Make sure you check out the designs from the rest of the design team here, and play along if you can!
Happy crafting!
