As the theme is ‘fireworks’ I looked through my stamps and found the Tim Holtz Stampers Anonymous CMS499 set and thought I could use the snowflakes as my fireworks.

In my journal I created a night sky by blending Distress Inks Chipped Sapphire, Black Soot and a little Villainous Potion to cover over 2/3 of my masked off area.

I then blended some Mowed Lawn and Rustic Wilderness at the very bottom of the area.

I spritzed some Distress Spritz in Prize Ribbon and Fossilized Amber at the top part of the scene to give it a little more of a glistening look.

Once fully dry, I stamped the ‘fireworks’ in the upper half of the sky, with Wow embossing ink and sprinkled over some mixed glitter embossing powders by pinching a little from each jar and placing over each ‘firework’.

I then heat embossed these with my heat gun on the number 2 setting.

I chose my mini paper dolls - Grandma and Little Tommy - from the Idea-ology Paper Dolls Mini set as I wanted them to look tiny and like they were looking up at the fireworks in the night sky. I added a little Rustic Wildnerness Distress watercolour pencil aroudn their feet to make them look more grounded.

From my Tim Holtz Small Talk Sticker Book I chose as appropriate sentiment and added along the bottom of my scene next to my Paper Dolls.
