I enjoy taking part in the GDP Challenges because they inspire me to create outside my usual style or colour preferences.
These colours are darker than I would normally combine. Fortunately, they immediately made me think of New Year Eve’s fireworks.
The new Light the Sky Bundle is perfect for what I had in mind!
The first step was to stamp the fireworks images onto Basic White cardstock. I used Cajun Craze and Pumpkin Pie Classic Stampin’ Pads then stamped them again using Versamark. After sprinkling Clear Embossing Powder over the Versamark image, I used my heat tool to set the powder and give the image a wonderful shine.
Next, I used a Small Blending Brush to colour each of the die and fussy cut fireworks images with Tuxedo Black Memento Ink. Now the fireworks had a night sky background.
As soon as all the firworks were finished, I started on the card itself.
I used a Basic Black card base and adhered a panel of the Silver Adhesive Backed Glimmer Paper to it.
Another panel of Basic Black card, the same size as the card front, was run through my Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine using the largest die from the Light the Sky Dies set. Using black dimensionals, I lifted this panel up off the silver glimmer paper.
My next step was to attach the fireworks across the front of the card – some were placed directly on the card while others were popped up using Stampin’ Dimensionals.
The greeting was created in the same way.
The black Adhesive Backed Sparkle Gems were perfect for this project.
Over the next week I have some Christmas projects to share with you.
Until then, happy stamping.
