I have taken the approach of a generic "Celebrate" card .. but you can decide your own take on the theme - any type of celebration is welcome for the challenge.
A simple card with just some stamping and heat embossing. I thought the detail and beauty of the stamp needed to be showcased through simplicity.
I used:
Versafine Onyx Black ink
Wow Clear embossing powder
UNIKO Simply Said Stamp set
IndigoBlu Colour Me - Dahlia
