Hello crafty friends and welcome! It's October and that means

the resuming of STAMPlorations Theme & Photo Prompt Challenge!

You can use just the theme, or just the photo prompt, or combine both

for your projects. I've used both, getting inspiration from the photo to

create my sun rays:

I started by stamping this lovely lady image from the

Fierce and Brave stamp set directly onto my card base, then

again on masking paper and trimmed that to size. Underneath I stamped

one of the sentiments from the Shine Bright stamp set. Placing the

mask over the image, I created my sun rays then removed the mask.

I created a frame in black glitter card stock using the 

Crazy Double Running Stitch Nesting dies. Before gluing the frame down,

I gave the rays a good coating of Wink of Stella and also added some

DecoArt Media Liquid Glass and let dry.

So shiny!

I hope that you find some time this month to link up your projects at

STAMPlorations Theme & Photo Prompt Challenge!
