Star of Light Starburst Tutorial

Welcome Back

 I had many requests for instructions on how to make the starburst effect for my Christmas Spirit card.

When I made Christmas Spirit it was all trials & errors. Loads of time taken up with mistakes, as is the way when you are trying something new.

I didn't write instructions for the card with my first blog because of all my mistakes, I simply ran out of time.

 So I decided to try a video tutorial.

I had a spare day yesterday to fiddle around,as my middle child was home ill.

Star Of Light Starburst Tutorial

Being my first tutorial I hope my efforts weren't to clumsy and you got the general idea of how to make this card.

Please forgive me if I talk to myself and I think I did mumble a bit too!

Crazy Crafters Blog Hop CASEing Sarah Berry

  

WELCOME

Today we the 'Crazy Crafters' team are CASEing the lovely Sarah Berry. 

You may have heard of her challenge Strawberry Sketches!?!

  

I chose Sarah's Voucher card & also one of her cards created for a sketch challenge.

Here are my chosen cards to CASE

                                            

I went for a Christmas theme for my first card & chose Night of  Navy blended with Soft Sky. The card stock used is Night of Navy with Whisper White, layered on top of each other to frame my image. I used the Dazzling Diamond glimmer paper for the top of my star with Silver Foil underneath.

Instead of a voucher I used this as a normal card. I stamped the inside with the star swirls from the Star of Light stamp set

My swirl wouldn't stamp correctly (missing the middle) & as it was too late to change my idea I adapted my images. I covered the missing piece with my star on the front & inside I stamped through the missing area then added a smaller star to keep my theme throughout my card.

How the following card came about was because I had leftover flourish pieces from my Razzleberry Flourish card made for previous challenge. When I was searching through Sarah's cards, I found her card above & thought that it would be a perfect way to use my left over bits.  

So, here it is.

'HELLO'

I used the same colours as my Razzleberry Flourishes card as they were the colours of my left over pieces lol :-)
