Scrap Your Story - sun burst

When Christy announced that this week's technique was going to be sunburst I inwardly groaned. Love the way they look, but not such a fan of making them. I was looking through my papers for an upcoming project and found this MME Ooh La La paper that had a burst printed into it. Scoooore! 

I had two pieces so I cut one set of the pattern and popped it up to give a touch of dimension - don't worry I used the yellow part of the second sheet on that other project I mentioned. 

Then I just layered up a bunch of scraps from the line/similar colored lines. I just love how it turned out  AND I didn't have to give blood sweat and tears to make that burst perfect. 

Now, go check out what the rest of the design team did over at Scrap Your Story. 

Patterned Play Class Day 3 - using hard to use prints

I confess to being a "B" side scrapper. Love me some small detail prints! But the "A" sides intimidate me, so I either fussy cut them or ignore them. 

Thankfully, today's class at Patterned Play was all about pulling me out of my comfort zone. Okay, maybe not just me, but you get the idea. 

As soon as I saw the direction of the very first card in the class I knew it was the one I wanted to CASE today. Talk about a low effort bold statement! 

I made mine using a scrap from WRMK Hall Pass. The sentiment is stamped on a scrap from EP For The Record 2. The stamp is Tim Holtz, ink is Colorbox Chestnut Roan. The clear die cut is from FancyPants. Brads are stash.
