I saw a technique for the sun on Stamp TV on youtube. This is a video you won't want to miss. Click HERE for the video. I used chalk and the applicator that came with the chalk. Oh my goodness I LOVE how this sun came out. Now this is my first attemp at this technique. It is so easy.
And a fabulous Peachy Keen face!! The Happy Birthday sentiment is from Close t my Heart.
I used black and white checkered ribbon from my stash.
Here is a look at my sun in progress. I did all the way around the paper (4" x 5 1/2"). Then I decided to cut it down and mat it on a card. After I did all the rays, I went back with the same color and made circular motions in the center for the sun. The sun and rays were made with the same tool and same color. This is such a fabulous technique!!
Supplies:
Black cardstock
Yellow and white polka dot paper
White cardstock
Pebbles chalk sets
Close to my Heart Happy Birthday Stamp set
Peachy Keen Happy Lashes Face Stamps 1 1/8"
Black Memento Ink Pad
