This really was a quick card to make - I actually made two cause they will be suitable for many occasions. I cut the fabulous Clearly Besotted Cityscape die out of a scrap of black card, glued it to the A6 card base then dotted a yellow Promarker through the windows for light. I forgot this would show on the reverse of the card but will cover with an insert so no problem! The stamp is by Crealies and is Bits and Pieces No. 29 and I think it looked just liked fireworks. I stamped using a very old set of waterbased markers so I could get separate colours on each part. The sentiment is from an awesome clear stamp set called Party Time by Stamplorations. Stickles were added to the fireworks and to the card base for sparkle. See, very simple!

Ooooh! Who can resist the fizz, pop and sparkle of firesworks? This is a wonderfully celebratory scene Chris. The pop of vivid colour from the fireworks really sets off the cityscape and you certainly couldn't have picked a more fitting sentiment. Brilliant!
