Hello and welcome back crafty friends!

We loved seeing your shine-inspired projects over the past month, thank you so much to all of those who participated in Challenge #52!

Congratulations to our Challenge #51-52 winner, Leanne S, please feel free to grab and display your winner badge which can be found on the righthand column (or at the bottom of the page on mobile)!

Now, onto Sunbird Spark Challenge #53! This month we have another fun sketch to inspire your creativity. Don’t forget to link your projects below for your chance to win a gift card to the shop!

I started by using the Timeless Tulips Press Plates to create my focal point. I pressed it onto white cardstock with holographic foil, instead of throwing away the piece of foil that had been pressed, I heated it on my foil machine using a flat metal sheet and pressed it through onto black cardstock to create a “reverse” foil. I then cut this out with the coordinating die and offset it on top of another white diecut to give it extra dimension.

Next, I created the background from black cardstock using the Diamond Dusk 3D Embossing Folder and adhered it onto my card base. I used the Dynamic Dotted Chevron Cover Die to cut a small piece of holographic cardstock which I adhered to the bottom of the card on a slant. I also added a strip of glitter cardstock before adhering down my tulip focal point. Finally, I finished the card off with a sentiment from Flourish Boldly, and added some embellishments.

We love seeing your creations and would love for you to join us in this month’s challenge! All you have to do to enter is use the challenge sketch to create a project. Full challenge rules can be found here.
