TLC199-Starburst Christmas Greeting

Photo Details

Poster: Mrs Nickel

I decided to begin the challenges again and add to my gallery today! I am glad I did! I love this Starburst Technique!

When I saw the shape, I immediately thought of a poinsettia and the fact that I could make it sort of like a quilt pattern with some repetition in the decorative paper. I punched out four of the pieces of patterned paper and then eight of the tag silhouettes, over laying four of them on the patterned paper tags! I love how this turned out!

I also used the inside of the silhouettes (red small tags) to give the 'flower' some dimension by using the small red tags in the same starburst design and placing it behind the larger starburst. I love this card, it is by far one of my best in a long time!

THANKS for looking and MERRY CHRISTMAS!
