I'm paired up with Melody Rupple for this weekâs Great Cover Up challenge on the Papertrey Ink blog. We are challenging you to create something with a patriotic theme and I wanted to use a new âto meâ technique to create a sunburst background. Itâs a great way to use up those scraps of patterned papers!
Step 1: Cut paper into 1 ½â by 6â rectangles, then cut them on the diagonal from opposite corners to form the sun âraysâ.
Step 2: Start by adhering a strip in the center of the A2 size card base, then work your way outward until the background is covered. I like to leave a narrow space (about 1/8â) between each piece. Trim off the excess with a scissors or with a paper cutter.
Step 3: Next, I wanted to cover up the sunburst center by adding a trio of bunting dies from the newly released Patriot die set.
Step 4: Complete the card with a sentiment as the focal point. I chose to cut two dies (Enchanted Evening and White) and offset them slightly to make it âpopâ more.
No paper or ink used on this one!
PAPER: White, Enchanted Evening, patterned paper.
DIES: Patriot, God Bless America
