{Spotlight Project} Father's Day Cards With Deepti



Hello friends! Deepti here and welcome to my Spotlight feature. Today I am making Cards with Father's day on my mind. I wanted to get a heads up on these cards. I had that moment when a cool idea clicked my head for a fun way to create sun burst without using a stencil. I am not sure if anyone has used this before, 'coz so far I haven't come across anyone sharing it. Nonetheless, I am kinda happy with me :)

So I created a couple of cards, let me show you...
