Amanda's August Challenge...

I have used starbursts on two layouts i have done in the past and really loved the final result.



They are a very easy way to add WOW to your title or journalling.

Basically all i did was to open a word document and go into shapes > stars and banners. If you place one of those onto a blank page you can then reshape it to whatever size you want.

Print your starburst and cut around it. With non permanent adhesive place it on top of the card you wish to be the middle starburst colour. Cut around it using the printout as your template.



(please excuse the state of my template starburst - it was rescued from the bin all scrunched and grotty after i decided to use this as a challenge and take a couple of step by step photos!)


Repeat this process to build up extra layers, colours and an illusion of dimension to your starburst.

The only thing to be mindful of is to make sure that your text will fit into your starburst shape prior to cutting!!

Can't wait to see what you can come up with!
