I created this card for last weeks Teapot Challenge (represent Independence or Canada Day) and the Mix-a-bility Challenge (silver & gold). I started with a piece of watercolor paper and added various shades of blue Brushos spritzed with water. Once dried, I added spackle through a stencil to create the fireworks. Once that was dry I went in and added a few silver Nuvo glitter drops. I covered the bottom portion of the card with a panel that I cut from the NY skyline die-namic from MFT. This card wasn't planned, it just sort of fell into place and I LOVE it! It's on it's way to the upper midwest USA for our monthly Tickle a Teapotter exchange...I hope the recipient loves it as much as I do. ;-)

I love, love, love it! Lucky me receiving this beauty! Your background is just outstanding. When I received your card I had to come find it on here so I would know if those were Nuvo drops on the background (I don't have any of those and hadn't seen them IRL?). Gorgeous card!

STRIKING with your lovely Brusho watercolor bg with the wonderful array of textured fireworks. Love those little silver stars mixed in with the white stars...very nice touch! That N.Y. silhouette is so perfect with its white embossed sentiment! Your TeaPotter should love, love it!
