Sunset Sunray Card with Layered Depth

Cut the Sunray die from orange cardstock using your die-cutting machine.

Create a blended ink background using distress oxide inks in sunset colours on white cardstock.

Layer the orange Sunray die-cut onto the blended background.

Cut the Sunray die again from a darker shade of orange or red cardstock.

Snip away the outer rays from the darker die-cut, keeping only the inner circle and partial rays.

Layer the darker Sunray piece on top of the first layer, offsetting it slightly to create dimension.

Cut a third layer of the Sunray die from an even darker shade.

Snip away more of the outer rays from this layer, leaving only the innermost rays.

Layer this final piece on top, creating a graduated effect from light to dark.

Stamp or adhere a 'Good Vibes' sentiment die-cut to the centre of the card.

Mount the finished design onto a larger card base.
