I just love this new sun die which is from the Simon Says Stamp Summer 2013 Release and I've seen a number of cards made using glitter card but I used Basic Grey "Origins" seeing as this is BasicGrey Challenges !

Now, I don't know if it will be just me but I was wondering how on earth I would space those sun rays because once die cut, the rays are all separate of course !  Anyway, this is how I did it :


You can see the die in the top of the picture so you know what it looks like.
I attached the negative of the die cut to the front of my card with a tiny piece of magic tape and then added the rays back into the die cut just like a jigsaw puzzle, gluing them at the same time.  Once all the pieces were glued into the die cut, I carefully lifted it from the card to reveal just the cut pieces.

I hope that has helped as if you are like me, you get confused by such things !!! hehehe !

As always, I have listed all the goodies I have used on this card below with links to them.

The rest of the DT have made some amazing creations for your inspiration again, check them out !

Thank you so much for your visit and have a great Saturday !
