Hello & welcome to another share. Today I have my Just Add Ink challenge Design Team project. Nikki gave us a Choose Two challenge to include sunshine, a silhouette, or stars. I chose silhouette and sunshine - using a sunburst design.
This
challenge stumped me at first but once I thought about using a sunburst
design (which can also be called a starburst - weird!) it came together
quickly. I mixed and matched a sentiment from the Inspired Thoughts stamp set (& bundle) and dies from the Meadow dies set (& Quiet Meadow bundle) and Tailor Made Tags set. Here's the finished card.
First we must talk about the sunburst. This is a pattern I've loved & used for years. I used a mix of Bumblebee (a 2020-22 In-Color) coloured patterned papers from the retired In-Color stack. The Bunblebee gives a lovely warmth to the sunshine theme. You could substitute the current papaer pack (which I've linked in my supply shopping list here).
Find the sunburst template and tutorial I created and used here in these posts. It's a great way to mix and match paper scraps and you can create many layouts from the one design.
For the silhouette element I cut 2 Meadow die flowers and popped black Dimensionals (yes, black Dimensionals (perfect for dark colour layering) between them to create some depth. I think you can see this it in the above photo.
There's some repurposing happening on the card too:
- I re-cut the Tailor Made Tag to size it perfectly for the sentiment from Inspired Thoughts stamp set. I love the type used in this set and the sentiment is perfect for the recipient - a friend who I think does make a great difference with her work.
- Don't recognise the elegant black shimmer ribbon? I coloured the Gray Granite Shimmer Ribbon with a Dark Basic Black Stampin Blends marker - voila black ribbon!
Inside I included a cut-off from my sunburst piece. Too fun to waste.
So that's my sunburst silhouette card. I hope you've enjoyed seeing it and find my tips useful. Remember to check out my past sunburst projects, template and tutorial here.
You'll love seeing all the different projects created by the team too so remember to check them out on the Just Add Ink blog too.

I realised I have another simple card to share made with the Meadow dies so I'll share that next. Until then, thanks for visiting. Remember to pin my project in Pinterest for later inspiration too.
Happy stamping & inky wishes

Love that DSP starbusrt behind your silhouette flower Di.
I always think of you when I see these sunburst cards, and is it any wonder, as you do them so well! Your card looks amazing. The die cut flower was the perfect choice for the silhouette element.
Thanks, Tristan. So fun to do.
You’re so lovely, Tina. Glad you liked it. I thought I was never coming up with one that met the challenge.
