Posted on January 8, 2024January 6, 2024 by Mo Rootes

Hello and welcome to the New Year Celebrations Blog Hop where we are celebrating…….. you’ve got it, the new year. I love to see the fireworks on New Years Eve and have used the Light the Sky stamp set and some embossing to make colourful fireworkd card.

Colours used in this card are:

To recreate the fireworks card, you will need:

Thick Basic White card – 8¼” by 5⅞” – scored at 4⅛”
Berry Burst card – 5⅝” by 3⅜”
Starry Sky card – 5½” by 3¼”
Scrap Starry Sky card

Using a Blending Brush I added Starry Sky ink around all four sides of the card, leaving the centre un-inked. Using the same Blending Brush I added Night of Navy ink in all 4 corners of the card. I then set the card aside to dry.

When the panel was dry I stamped three of the firework images a number of times in Versamark ink. I covered it with White Embossing Powder and heat set it.

I stamped the sentiment onto the panel – it was squint……… don’t you hate it when that happens. So I stamped it again in Versamark ink onto scrap Starry Sky card, I embossed it with White Embossing Powder and die cut it using the Stylish Shapes Dies

I rolled the edges in Whisper White ink to give some separation and added it, over the squint attempt using Black Dimensionals. The whole piece was glued to the Berry Burst panel and then to the Thick Basic White card front.
