Sweet Stamps- Summer or Patriotic

This week at the Sweet Stamps Challenge we are making Patriotic or Summer Cards.

 I had fun thinking 'Out of the Box' with this challenge. Can you tell?  I used the top of the Dahlia flower for my fireworks.

Products I used:
 I stamped the Dahlia flower HERE using Ranger Clear Embossing ink and embossed with White Embossing Powder.
 I colored over the White Embossing Powder with Copic Markers- HERE  Next, I added Crystal Stickles  over the top of that.
 The image is Cherie from Sweet Stamps. I used Ruby Red ink to stamp the image, then added Creative Inspirations paint Russet Red- a perfect match! The image is stamped on white cardstock that is then placed behind a Blue cardstock  called Blue Sparkle Abysse. The scallop opening in the blue is centered in the middle of the blue cardstock using the Nelli Snellen 007 Oval Multi Die. I added the border using the Marianne Ribbon Border Die 103.  I added Red Russed CI paint over the top for shimmer, and wove a white bow thru the openings.

   I hope you will join in the challenge!  Every entry qualifies you for a chance to win $20 of items from the store at  Sweet Stamps, and if you use a Sweet Stamps image- you will receive an additional chance to win!
