Birthday Celebration

  Happy Wednesday!!  It's time for another challenge from The House That Stamps.  This week is a different one: Scenery.  So, create a card (or project) with scenery or by creating a scene.

And here is the card I created:
I was totally inspired by this card from Taylored Expressions:
I began by heat embossing my fireworks, one in gold, one in blue and one in a mix of red and holographic embossing powder.  If I did it again, I wouldn't use blue on dark blue cardstock; it just doesn't show up as well as I had hoped.  Then I stamped the stars over top with a white pigment ink so they would be a little softer.  I die cut my "town" and adhered little tiny strips of scrap yellow card stock behind the windows.  Then heat embossed the sentiment in gold and added the little firework "tails" with a white gel pen.  (Just a little side note: I have cut my "Happy Birthday" sentiment apart so I can use it stacked on top of itself--that's how it comes--or side by side as I did here.)  Relatively quick and easy, yeay!

Thanks for stopping by!  Make sure you head on over to The House blog to see what the rest of the Design Team has done with this challenge.  And if you "need" any of the stamps I used, check out my 10% off your entire order coupon code over in my lift sidebar.
