Supplies_for_star_burst_techinque Howdy  girls I wish you all a WONDERFUL Thanksgiving tomorrow !! SO  are you ready  for  the Star Burst tutorial .. 

Here is what you will need

Removeable scotch tape , sponge ,  choice of ink  and  stamp image for center .. I have already  stamped the image on to  whisper white cardstock  with Black classic  ink  and then  tear off a piece of removable tape  about  8 " or  so  you  want it  long  enough to  cover  from corner  to corner on your base card .. Remember  you  can click on  any image to make larger .. Ok lets start..

Step_1 1st line your  tape  with the  center  image for the 1st burst line . Line tape  as close to your  stamped image  as possible   using the  right  sideof your tape as  your  guide to get   as close to your image  so you will  not get  ink on  the  center image BUT to create a  focal point   of the  image  you  will then  use your sponge( as shown in  photo ) and  apply  ink using the right  side as your  guide   the  whole length of the  tape. Apply   ink  lightly   since you  want a  soft  look to your star  burst .

Step_1b 

next  lift off tape as shown in this photo .

Step_2 Ok  the next step is to line up your tape once again  using the  center image as  your  base  you will line  up your tape line  using  the left side this time .. always making  sure  your tape line is as close as possible to your center image . apply ink  once again just like in  step 1 and then lift tape .. the great thing  about this tape is  that you  can reuse   this one piece  many many  times & it will not  ruin your  project  when you lift  it off

Step_3 the  following  steps  are exactly  the same as  all the previous steps  you will just be using the  main focal image as your base line  for your  tape  just remeber   when lining up your  tape line  you  will want to  use the  side  of the tape line closest to your  image  and the  other side for  applying  the ink   Because  since this tape  is  wide   and you  want your bursts as close as possible so  your  main image  pops out at you ..

Step_4 

Seriously  the more you playwith  the position  of your tape  the more chances  are that   you will  go crazy  and keep adding  star burst lines all over .. which is  sooo awesome ..

Step_5 

Keep adding  your  tape  lines for more Star bursts  girls ..

Step_6 see the star  forming  right before your eyes .. YAHOO!! keep on playing .. then once your  done  color in your  center image and TA DA  you  have a  fabulous card that everyone will ask HOW DID YOU DO THAT??I of course  I added a few  extra star bursts on my  finished card  ( below ) Just  play around you will love  it .
