Today, I'd like to share a card I had submitted for publication that was not selected. What I like about this card is that it showcases how to get the most out of your stamps. The firework images are from a set called Canada Day (from 2010 Summer Mini), which I used on a New Year card. Just because the set was initially created for Canada Day does not mean it has to sit in a box the other 11 months of the year. This is exactly why I got this set, because I figured that fireworks would be a nice addition to my stamp collection that could be used for many a different occasion.
The stars were stamped in Versamark and embossed with Iridescent Ice powder. The fireworks were stamped in Whisper White and embossed with Iridescent Ice powder as well, and decorated with rhinestones.
I wanted to keep the color scheme simple and elegant, so I paired black and silver together, with a grey taffeta ribbon tied at the bottom. The sentiment is a white-rub-on from the retired Holiday Happenings rub-ons pack. The white polka dot border is also a rub-on.
