Good morning everyone, I hope all is well in your world...hugs
On Thursday afternoon, as usual, I set off to do my food shopping and before I got to the supermarket I had bought a new reclining sofa!!! I only went into the store to look and there, right in front of me, was the exact sofa that I wanted, at a very good price, so I bought it LOL. Delivery is on the 5th Feb. so I am looking forward to being able to relax and ease the pain a bit more than my old sofa allows. I know when I sit on my friend's reclining sofa I am more comfortable that than on any other :o)
Anyhow, enough waffling from me and on to my card for today!
Not sure whether you would call it sunburst or starburst but I like it whatever it's called LOL.
I'm afraid I don't know what the flower is, but I took the photograph in 2011 at Barnsdale Gardens and I love the colour of it.
I opened it in PSE5 and used the cookie cutter tool to get the effect, one of my favourites.
I cut it, and the mat out with Spellbinders.
Corners cut twice with a very old Provocraft die then I cut it in half (the diecut, not the die).
Basecard is white linencard and the orange card is Papermania textured card.
I really do love this effect and I hope you do too :o)

Oh Jackie, that made me smile as did did exactly the same back in the Autumn, went into John Lewis for a bed and came out (well ordered) a new TV. I did get the bed as well.
I decided a few years back that if you see something you like or have been looking for you have to grab it because when you actually go looking it's not there. Works wonderfully with clothes !!
On to you card I love the sunburst effect, like you not sure what the flower is but looks a bit like a Gerbera opening ?

This is a lovely card Jackie, very effective, I love it.
You made me laugh about the sofa, we did something similar when we went out to buy some icing sugar, came back with a car!!

Great selection of cards in your latest posts Jackie :)
I do admire your photos xxx
Beautiful card Jackie ... I thought it might be a Gerbera daisy but the more I look at it the less I think it is!
Enjoy your new sofa :)
Do you remember when I went to complain about the handbrake on my Punto and I came away with a new car! LOL Now, was it mine, or was it Pauline's sofa that grabbed you. Hee Hee.
Now, as for that flower, my first (and only) thought was Gerbera.
Whatever it was, it made for a lovely card. xxx
Good for you Jackie,, Enjoy some Pain free leisure time hopefully, better than having to take an extra pill! The Sofa will prove its worth in long run.
Love the card, yes its A Gerbera and love the sunburst effect!
