How To Guide - Step 1

Decide where on your black card blank you want the centre of the sunburst to be, then cut a selection of papers and vellum into rectangles, the longest of which will fit from the sunburst centre and go OVER the edges of the card blank. Cut each of the rectangles into triangles. 

How To Guide - Step 2

Adhere each triangle next to each other so the tip of each triangle meets where you've chosen the centre of the sunburst to be. 

How To Guide - Step 3

Once all papers and vellums are secure, you can trim off all the excess paper overhanging the edges of your card blank. 

How To Guide - Step 4

Stamp your bird on a branch in Midnight and use the coordinating die to cut it out. 

How To Guide - Step 5

Paint your stamped element with your watercolour paints before adhereing with foam pads, at the centre of your sunburst. 

How To Guide - Step 6

Stamp a sentiment in Midnight, onto white card and cut to size. Mat onto black card and trim to size. 

How To Guide - Step 7

Adhere onto your card with foam pads, where preferred. 

How To Guide - Step 8

To finish, add a few sequins where required.
