I've actually used the same technique (Sun Rays) on both of the cards I made for today's set, Easter. There is a tutorial on Speedy TV showing how to achieve this look. My first card is a clean and simple card, with just the sunrays and a single sentiment. I stamped "Happy Easter" on the inside.
My second card is an easel card on which I used one of the images from the set along with a sentiment.
Be sure to check out the rest of the DT blogs in our hop today. Easter is right around the corner, and you might fnd something you would like to use as inspiration for your own cards. And don't forget to comment on the blogs for a chance to win one of this month's stamp sets.
