I love this sunburst die from the Gina Marie collection! I knew I wanted to use it to showcase one of the gorgeous horses from the Inkadinkado "Horses" stamp set for this challenge. My idea was to attach the die-cut circle to the card using some tiny brads which I had bought years ago. Of course, that meant finding the silly things. I almost gave up on them but then suddenly found them hiding in my Washi Tape drawer rather than the Brad and Button drawer in which I had been so sure I had stored them. You would almost think they didn't want to be used.
I kept the card simple to show off the brads. Onto a base of Early Espresso cardstock, I glued and then secured with a brad, the lovely sunburst die-cut (cut from a piece of retired Kraft paper). After stamping the horse image, I used a stitched circle die to cut it out and then coloured it using my Stampin' Blends. After that I glued it to the centre of the sunburst and began poking holes where each ray met the circle. Then I added a tiny mini brad to each hole. I love the effect, don't you?
I hope you enjoy my card as much as I enjoyed creating it. Have fun with our challenge!
