I saw this stamp, just before Christmas, and had to have it. It was on offer after all, how could I say no?
I used a circle die cut to blend the centre, then blended the background with DO's, not as I thought it would turn out, but I liked it, so continued. I stamped the main image in white, then embossed in white, I did it twice, so it stood out more. Then moved the stamp a little and stamped with black. The fireworks were stamped in gold and coloured gel pens added more strokes, but they didn't show as much as I wanted. Next, I layered the images onto black paper and attached to the A5 base card. I then decided to remove some ink in the fireworks with an alcohol cloth.
A larger card than normal for me and lots of blending and embossing, not all good, but I like the overall card. Because of the curve in the card, I need to flatten, it looks like there are no white edges, it's tiny, but it is there.
Don't forget, we will now require At least one stamped element on entries. Those of you like us, who love to stamp, we would still love you to enter your fully stamped entry.

Gorgeous make Faith, the colours of the background sky are beautiful and have a real depth, and I love the technique with the white embossing and offset black stamping. Not seen that before but I must try it!

You've used your new stamp to great effect on this wonderful card, love the sentiment too.
Fabulous!! Love so much the way you double the stamp to make the shadow, great dimension! The light around the lamp, the moon and fireworks give a lovely festive and magical feel to the blue tones!
WOW!! What a beautiful card Faith, I love the design and the colours, a real festive sort of card, Kate x
I can see your white border. It is lovely and even too. No matter how hard I try I always seem to get mine wonky. In fact the harder I try the more wonky it will be. I try not to stress anymore. Love the blending on this one. It is very effective xx

This is beautifully put together Faith, and I love the magical scene so pretty with the blue background and the large moon behind the building and the lamplight, and the double stamping with the white and then moved a little and the added black shadow works brilliantly. x
I absolutely love the circled inking, looks like London fog! Magical and mysterious! Hope you are well, I'm on the Arfur mend hopefully, xoxo
