Scrap Paper Sunburst Elephant Card

Cut a piece of black card slightly smaller than your card blank to create a border.

Randomly cut small triangles from your coloured paper scraps in various widths and points to create variety.

Mark a small circle in the centre of the black card to use as an aiming point for your sunburst design.

Apply glue to the black card and begin laying down the coloured triangles, pointing them all towards the centre circle.

Build up the sunburst by adding triangles in different colours all around, leaving small gaps of black between pieces to make colours pop.

Fill in larger gaps with additional smaller triangles, continuing to point all pieces towards the centre.

Trim away any overhanging pieces using a paper trimmer, working around the edges to neaten the design.

Use a circle die to cut out the centre of the sunburst, creating a neat circular frame that hides the messy edges.

Mount the trimmed sunburst panel onto your card blank using foam pads for dimension.

Stamp your chosen sentiment onto a contrasting strip using an embossing ink pad.

Cover the stamped sentiment with white embossing powder, tap away excess, and heat-emboss to create a crisp finish.

Glue the embossed sentiment strip directly across the bottom of the card.

Mount your pre-coloured elephant character in the centre circle using a foam pad.

Apply glitter glue along the edges of the coloured triangles to add sparkle and definition to the design.
