Happy Friday, everyone.
It's a rainy chilly day here and my Arthurs are not liking it.
Hope your weather is better where you are.
My 4x6 art for the week uses my favorite color purple.
I first ink-blended the base card with DI Shaded Lilac so I could see where I was stamping the fireworks as my eyes are getting too old to stamp on white card with Versamark without guessing, lol. That helped and I was able to stamp them and then heat emboss them with white powder. I then ink-blended the card base with DI Seedless Preserves, Wilted Violet and lastly, Villainous Potion. After that dried, I wet an old toothbrush and splattered the base with water droplets to make the sky lighten up and reveal the Shaded Lilac and Seedless Preserve ink layers underneath.
Then I stamped the Scruffy Little Cat "Chelsea" in Versamark Clair Nocturne and clear-heat-embossed her. I stamped some very old balloon stamps on each side of her, colored it all up with Promarkers and Sakura Stardust pen highlights/accents and fussy cut the scene. I stamped and heat-embossed the Sweet Stamp Shop sentiments, ink-blended some Shaded Lilac over them and trimmed that into a strip for the bottom.
Final view.
Hope you can see all the sparkly accents.
I'll be adding this one to my New Year's decorations in my art corner when it's time. Indigo, pink and green complement purple well, I think. I really like how the sky looks with the water droplets, too.
Thanks for the visit and I hope your weekend is a good one.

My hives haven't been liking our damp weather this past week either. ARGH. This lady on your card looks ready to have a big night out. I love the eyeshadow she has. It's hard to believe we're not all that far from New Year's Eve, but I'm not counting down yet. Smile. Hope your arthurs feel better and you're having a nice weekend. hugs-Erika
Fantastic colours Aimeslee, the purple is really popping!! The fireworks look awesome over the top of the darker colour. I like the little hints of green you scattered around too, it's nice to have that bit of contrast. Fantastic sentiment!
Cheers,
