A Set of Four

Good morning! A few post back I shared a card that used a sunburst technique and gave the link to where I found the tutorial. Well, I love the technique so much that I have made a few more cards.
They are similar but slightly different.
This one I used a chipboard flower and inked it with blue and green ink then sprinkled clear embossing powder and melted it with the heat gun. While it was still warm I sprinkled more embossing powder and heated it again.
 I put the focal point in the middle of the card and I had a small piece of the twine leftover that was just long enough to make a small bow.
 I put the sentiment in the middle of the scalloped circle instead of on the right bottom corner of the card.
 I again put the focal point in the center and on this card I inked the edges of the inside mat with dark blue ink.


 This last card is my favorite. I love the chipboard butterfly. I inked the butterfly with blue ink and again sprinkled it with clear embossing powder and used a heat gun to melt the powder. I did it one more time so I had two layers of embossing powder. I then added the big pearls to the body.
I like how the chipboard still shows through in some areas of the butterfly. In real life it is really shiny and looks so much prettier.

I also made a wedding card in black and white using the sunburst. I think it turned out so nice in the black and white pattern paper.

Thanks for dropping by and have a wonderful weekend.

Mr. & Mrs.

I am anxiously awaiting the arrival of my daughter so I thought I would go ahead and make this post even though it is getting late. I am up any way so I might as well get something done.

A few posts back I shared a card that I had made using the sunburst (or starburst as it is sometimes called) you can see it here. It is the last card in the post. I also shared the link to the tutorial where I learned the technique. It is super easy and fun so I have been making a few more in different color schemes.
On this card I switched from horizontal to vertical and made it a wedding card. The black and white is so classic and some of the patterns I used were more on the masculine side so it isn't too girly.
 I added a pearl to the flower's center and die cut some leaves out of black cardstock.
 Memento black ink was used for the stamped image and the "Mr. & Mrs. I added smaller pearls to the stamped image.
The sentiment was stamped in Versa Mark ink then embossed with white embossing powder.
Let me know if you try this technique and share how you used it.
