Sunrays Tutorial

Hello! This is my first attempt at doing a tutorial!! Yikes!! Anyway ,because I have gotten some E-mails requesting instructions on how to do this Sun-ray technique, I decided to give it a go. It is a real simple technique and I want to give my daughter Theresa credit , she showed me how to do this.
Supplies:
A sponge, I used a jumbo dauber
Ink pad, I used Memento's cantaloupe
Post-it note, I used 4x6
card stock, I used 41/4 x51/2 piece. You can use any size you wish it to be.



Picture of the supplies I used.



I put two pieces of post-it down across where I want my sun ray to stop.



I put dot to mark about the middle of the end of horizon, then using another post-it , place the corner on the dot, as shown it the photo.



Decide how wide you want your rays ( I just eyeballed it). Then sponge on the ink staying mostly to the edge of your post-it.



Keeping your finger on the corner where the dot is, lift and pivot the post-it up for another ray.



Keep doing the same , hold , lift and pivot.



On the last ray, I removed the post-it and sponged right on the horizon post-it.



Here it is all done!


I hope I made this clear and not confusing. I would love to hear back on how you liked this !
Thanks for stopping by and have a great day.

A Goose that lays Golden Eggs!

Hello! Gina has challenged us to make a card or project using a favorite children' s book. This the card I was inspired to make. I got the idea for making the sun rays from a card Theresa Momber did and you can find it here.





Jack in the Beanstalk was a favorite book of mine when I was little and my girls enjoyed it as well.
I always loved the part of the story where Jack finds the goose that lays golden eggs which is the part that inspired me to make this card. Another part of the story I liked was the giant saying this.
Fee-fi-fo-fum!
I smell the blood of an Englishman?
Be he 'live, or be he dead,
I'll grind his bones to make my bread.
Kinda gruesome, huh?
