The card I'm sharing today is simpler than my usual style, but I'm happy with how it turned out. It was inspired by a former Create with Connie and Mary color challenge (Strawberry Slush + Bermuda Bay + Basic Black). I pulled out a retired set called Canada Day and used the fireworks combined by the "Celebrations" sentiment from the Seasonal Sayings set (still available). I thought they were a perfect match.
I decorated the center of the bigger fireworks with rhinestones. As for the stars, they were stamped with VersaMark and I brushed some White Pearl Ex pigment (also retired) on them with a brush for added shimmer. I miss when we carried the Pearl Ex, I loved teaching techniques using those pigments. You could certainly use the Illuminate ink pad to get the same shimmery look.
