Good morning! I'm back with another card today using the BRAND NEW Shine On Release from Simon Says Stamp. Today's card is a bit near and dear to my own heart and family! My dad was a volunteer firefighter when I was growing up, and both my brother and sister have been on local volunteer fire departments for years. My sister-in-law is fire commissioner for their rural fire department, and my nephew recently joined his local fire department as well. When I saw the new firefighting items in this release, I just knew I had to create something with them!
Need to link: Firefighter, Brave Firefighter, Inks - Citrine, Sherbet, and Cranberry, PF Very Merry Christmas enamel, Sea Glass cardstock, Nuvo Blizzard, Starry Colors palette, Tim Holtz Tiny Text dies
I decided to make a watercolor/ink smooshed background for my card. I used a mix of Citrine, Sherbet, and Cranberry inks, layering them up for a bright fire effect. While that dried, I die cut the new Firefighter die from black cardstock for the main image, and Sea Glass for the water coming from the hose. I also stamped my sentiments from the new Brave Firefighter stamp set, using that same Sherbet ink for the main sentiment. I used the Tim Holtz Tiny Text coordinating dies to cut the banner for the secondary sentiment - it was a perfect fit! I added some Nuvo glitter drops on top of the water, a few Pinkfresh enamel dots, and a good splatter of gold from my Starry Colors palette to finish off! Here is a closer look:
