On my card to day I am inspired by the light house and sparkles from the Joy Clair June Challenge inspiration photo:

I use the new stamp Light House Stamp Set  and Happy Fourth Stamp Set. I had fun creating the background using VersaFine Clair Ink Pads: Blue Belle, Purple Delight, Tulip Red, Summertime, Green Oasis, and Nocturne (Black). I picked the ink up with make up sponge, and started sponging it on a white cardstock. I blended the colors as I go.

I treated the background panel with anti-static powder tool for heat embossing. I stamped the sparkle images from the Happy Fourth Stamp Set with VersaMark Ink Pad, sprinkled them with Gold Embossing Powder that I mixed with Holographic Embossing Powder for extra sparkle on them, and then I heat them with craft heater.

After that I cut the background panel with one of the ODBD Pierce Rectangles Dies and I added the background panel on an A2 White Card with dries-clear adhesive glue.

On another heavyweight cardstock, I stamped the light house image with VersaFine Clair Nocturne Ink Pad, and then I heat set the ink with craft heater. I colored the image with ShinHan Twin Touch Markers and Colorless Blender Marker. After that, I fussy cut the image, and I added it on the card with 3D foam tape.

I stamped the sentiment with VersaFine Clair Blue Belle and trimmed it, and I added on the card with dries-clear adhesive glue. I finished the card with some more gold start sequins.
