These sunburst type cards were in vogue for a while and then disappeared. I never made many of them but do like the look and recently I noticed a StampinUp DT mentioned they are coming back. Anyway I decided to make one using some pp that I keep storing. I got this package a long time at Costco of all places. I matched up a couple of the colours in the floral pp and dry embossed the plain blue one for texture. After mounting it onto a red border and adding it all to the card front I stamped the sentiments (from SSS) deliberately over stamping the tiny words to the bigger ones. I’ve had the pink flower forever. It came as a pin and I removed the back but didn’t find a use for the flower until now. Maybe it isn’t specifically a spring card but I like the bright colours which mean spring to me.
Of course it looks like spring to me too. The dry embossing was a good touch as is the flower.

Love the sunburst style. I haven’t made one exactly like this, so this looks like a great layout. Love the embossed pieces.

thanks – I saw the layout on Frenchie’s stamps I think. I like a lot of what she does so check her out once in a while.

This is a beautiful spring card! Love that you did the sunburst on only part of the card. I really like that flower, too.

Glad you like it. The flower is actually made of leather and I’ve kept it forever thinking I may eventually find a use for it. Glad I kept it.

Definitely spring! Very clever paper pieced sunburst rays.

Thanks Gayle – I had fun doing something similar to what I had seen and yet making it my own as I did it.
