Friends of Speedy TV Challenge

  Friends of Speedy TV are challenging you to make a 4th of July card for this week. In anticipation for the holiday that will be arriving soon, I always think of the fireworks that we will be enjoying in the night sky. In my scene to inspire you, I have depicted the sky ablaze with fireworks near a lighthouse on the coast.  We may not be near a coastline but the sky will be just as much fun to watch.  I do not have stamps for fireworks but I improvised using the centers of a stamp from MFP's Black-eyed Susans to create my explosions. I made a similar card  last year but I used stamps of mums for the effect.I stamped the lighthouse scene from the newly released MFP's "Island Life" stamp set, colored with Copics, cut out and place on Dark Blue CS. To this I attached the "explosions"  that I stamped with Versamark on the dark blue CS, embossed with Gold EP, and cut out. Did sentiment with "Happy" from MFP's and wrote in "4th".This was attached to a base card of Red CS.

Supplies:
Stamps: Mark's Finest Papers, a Heinrich Co."Island Life", "Black-eyed Susans"  and Happy from "Greetings of the Season"

Ink: Memento Tuxedo Black Ink Pad, Memento Potter's Clay, Bamboo Shoots and Lady Bug Markers,  Versamark with Gold EP and Red EP
