Sunburst

Hello and Welcome

Meet today's card.  

I hope it brings peace and hope to someone special in these uncertain times.  

So here's what I did to create my card.

• I began with a piece of heavy white cardstock.  Using the Cloud Edger stencil from A Colorful Life Designs, I inked up the panel using my Blender Brushes and my Distress Oxide inks.  They really blend so nicely together.  I took a picture of the inks while I had them out so I wouldn't forget what I used.  I began with the lightest colours at the top and moved my way down the cardstock, moving the stencil around and changing the angles.  *Cloud Edger comes with 4 different sides and you also get the outside edge it was cut from*

• After the whole panel was inked up, I took out the Corner Rays stencil also from A Colorful Life Designs and positioned it at the top of my inked panel.  Using some Faded Jeans Distress ink and a light hand, I applied a bit of ink over the stencil just to make the sunrays show up and the Distress ink colours still be visible below.
• Next, I rubbed the panel with my anti-static pad and placed the piece into my Misti.  I stamped the sentiment from Impression Obsession with Versafine Clair Noir ink and clear heat embossed it.
• I splattered the panel with some water, then splattered again with my white Posca pen.
• I mounted the finished piece onto a piece of sunny yellow cardstock, then onto a heavy white card base.  
• Lastly, I added some little gems near the sentiment. **IDEA:  I didn't have any gems that matched my card panel...black was a bit too harsh, so I took out some little white ones I had and coloured them with a blue Copic marker.  Looked much better*

Thanks so much for coming by and taking a look.
