sunburst!

This is a NEW background stamp from The Stamps of Life and it's pretty amazing! 

Sunburst2stamp

 I used part of it here for a beachy scene using the flamingo2stamp and dies....

 and here I used it with a scripture from light4jesus stamp set.  I used TSOL banana ink, which was drying a bit too fast, so I first used my versamark ink pad directly on the stamp and then the banana ink. This did not affect my banana ink pad, but gave it a stickier surface without drying too fast.... then I heat embossed it with a sparkle embossing powder. I did a couple of coats.  I think it turned out cool and was worth the extra effort. :)
