Sunburst

I'm not gonna lie, 

it's taken me a few days to ponder this week's MUSE card.

But, I really loved Marion's striking design and wanted to give it a go.

Here's my attempt ...

 I don't have a sunburst die, so I had to cobble something together.

I started by drawing round a circle die, and then using a ruler to draw lines through the circle.

I then cut alternate pieces with a craft knife.

You can see from the picture below just how I did this.

 I then layered this 'sunburst' onto my coloured card, trimming off the edges.

No need to worry about how bad the centre looks, as this is coverd up by my 'sun'.

It was a bit tricky die cutting my sentiment through those layers, but I finally prised it out

with the help of my craft knife and filled it with a navy blue insert.

I finished off with an embossed sentiment and a few scattered sequins.

I'm so glad I persevered with this card, as I really like the effect.

(Big thanks to Marion for the inspiration and making me try something different)
