Fireworks Flowers
I know! This isn’t a Stampin’ Up! stamp! However, Pamela from FireCrackerDesigns sent me some nice floral stamps for my design work with Technique Junkies Newsletter. This flower bloom looked just like fireworks to me! So…I had to make up a sky filled with them, especially with the 4th of July holiday coming up this week.
I used a technique from the current June/July 2008 issue of Technique Junkies Newsletter called Marker Water Coloring. It was perfect for this stamp and SO easy! If you don’t get this newsletter, you should! It is filled with easy to do, step-by-step tutorials.
I used Real Red and Brilliant Blue markers and cardstock, along with a little Always Artichoke for the grass. The "United We Stamp" stamp is from Printworks…I’ve had it for ages and seem to pull it out for every 4th of July card. The small "fireworks" are from a Stampin’ Up! set called Snow Flurries which is retiring in August. I’ll miss it since it is a fun stamp to use for other than making snow. (Email me today if you want to order yours!)
Mary and I did some challenges last night, so I several new cards to show you over the next week! AND, I noticed that I’m almost at the 100,000 mark…and that means BLOG CANDY! Stay tuned!
Oh I love this! I have that same image too! I really like when images are used for something other than what their intended purpose was, and this one works beautifully.
