Quick Cards Issue 157 - Bonus Papers

Hi Crafty Friends, I should have shared this a couple of weeks ago, but totally forgot as I had not been well. Anyway better late than never ... I was super excited to have this little card I created using the bonus papers in Quick Cards Made Easy, appear in their latest issue 157. The free papers are fab and to make full use of them all, I decided to create this very apt sunburst design ...

Quick Cards Made Easy - Issue 157 Bonus Free Papers 
Bazzil Bling - Blue Card
Creata - Mirror Card
X-Cut - Snowflake Die
From My Stash - Blue Ribbon, Peel Offs and Gems

I had fun creating this sunburst effect with the super pastel-toned papers, complementing them with blue bazzil bling card, satin ribbon and peel-offs. I died cut 3 snowflakes and added these along with gems. I finished off by adding the sentiment layered on bling card, then topped onto snowflake paper and mirror card.
