Starburst!
I have seen a lot of these Starburst (or Sunburst) cards on Facebook recently and thought I'd have a go!
The check background is from a Papermania Capsule Collection stack and the starburst papers are from a 'Forever Friends' pack that was another magazine freebie. I stickled between the lines to give a bit of sparkle! The butterflies are made with a Woodware punch, glued in the centre so the wings lift up, and I stickled them and added a pearl to each body. The baker's twine is from stash and the sentiment was another magazine freebie.
This is my second Starburst card - and my first Christmas card of 2014! All the papers are snippets! I used Broken China Distress Ink round the edges. The tiny snowflakes are cut with a Memory Box die, and stickled. The sentiment is by LotV and is embossed in silver.
I'm really pleased with how they turned out!
Challenges I'm entering:
The first card is for Crafty Hazelnut's Patterned Paper Challenge as I used most of a sheet of patterned paper for the check background. This is a new Challenge, aimed at helping us to use up our papers - the only rule is to use a piece of patterned paper to cover the background of your card.
The second card is for Crafty Hazelnut's Christmas Challenge Extra
and also for Crafty Hazelnut's Christmas Challenge where the theme is 'Shades of Blue.'
I hope you're all having a good weekend! Thanks for looking!

PS The bread that I was baking the other day turned out ok!
