This is my finished project card using the "firework technique", now read on to see how I did it...
So when I went grocery shopping this past weekend, I was in the cleaning department and came across this dish brush, Of course it looked fun, not to clean with, but to create with. To me it looked like a bursting firework, so I threw it into my cart and moved on.
For my fireworks I chose to use colors of real red and pacific point. I pulled my re-inker bottles and squeezed a little on foam plate. I dipped the brush into the red ink first and on my 3" square of whisper white, I just stamped with it.
This is what the first layer looks like when done. You can stamp lightly or even more than what I have done if you want.
Next, I rinsed it well with running water to get all the red ink off, then I did the next color of blue.
On the front of the card, I wanted a bursting firework in the upper and lower corners, so directly right on my card base, I stamped two fireworks.
The star shapes are created using the new "stars" framelit set. I cut out one large one in pacific card stock and cut out the center with a smaller star. I had originally thought of using the red glitter star behind the blue one, but changed my mind and decided to go with two small ones off to the sides. I cut out the 3" stamped firework with a medium sized star and attached it behind the blue star. Now you could turn this into a shaker pocket if you wanted, but I passed on this card, and just used the stamped firework.
I finished up with wrapping making a knot with the silver ribbon on the blue star. I also created a banner sentiment of happy birthday and attached it to the blue star as well.
I hope you have enjoyed my fun "firework technique". I hope it has INKspired you to go try it.

ReplyDeleteGonna have to try this technique :)
So, I guess the "soap dispensing" part of the dish brush is extraneous?
