Sunburst Thinlits Die

This morning I have the projects we made with the Sunburst Thinlits Die. I thought I would get them up this weekend, but we were enjoying precious family time…as I hope you were. We actually celebrated 9 family birthdays yesterday, in addition to our Easter Celebration. Birthday-CardsHere they are…minus the little people…who just wanted to be in the picture because:) Birthday-KidsWith a growing family, sometimes we have to celebrate quarterly. This worked out well this time because our daughter and son-in-law were able to be here for Easter AND their birthday celebrations!

Okay…onto the projects! As I mentioned last time, Sherry Roth did the afternoon class at our event and prepped these 4 projects for us. They all featured the Sunburst Thinlits Die.

Card #1
We used the Sunburst Thinlits Die as a template to trace with a black marker.Sunburst-4Card #2
We cut a sunburst out of cardstock, placed it onto a piece of Whisper White Cardstock and sponged between the rays with long strokes starting in the middle so it went from darker to lighter. The clouds were punched out using the Tree Builder Punch (#138295).Sunburst-5Card #3
The Sunburst Thinlits Die used as a sunflower:) We sponged the rays to give it more dimension and embossed the Early Espresso circle with the Decorative Dots Embossing Folder (#133520). The leaf was from the Leaflets Framelits (#138283) and the Celebrate Today was die-cut using the PL Life Cards & Labels Framelits (#135707).Sunburst-6Card #4
This was probably the most challenging card, but I love it! We started with a piece of Watercolor Paper, wet it generously using a clean Aqua Painter. Then we used a few different colors of reinkers in the lids of the stamp pads to dip into (with the Aqua Painter) and worked from the middle out. It didn’t look very pretty…until we cut it out with the Sunburst Thinlits Die. Then look! We stamped random dots from Timeless Textures with White Craft Ink onto the Basic Black Cardstock and adhered the sunburst once the Watercolor Paper had dried.Sunburst-7I hope you enjoy your last day of the long weekend!
