Good Morning everyone
A card using Visible image glimmer of light stamp set
6x6" scalloped cardbase. I cut a piece of white card to fit my base and stamped the quote at the top in black ink and then the light bulbs, i then tore a piece of paper to fit around each of them and attached with repositionable glue to mask them off - this was to keep them white and stand out after id inked up my background. I tore the edges as i wanted a more soft look rather than sharp cut edges.
I then blended on distress inks dusty concorde, chipped sapphire and black soot to give a more night time feel but not pure black. I splashed on a bit of water and dried to give some interest. I then removed all the masks. I inked in & around the lightbulbs with wild honey and squeezed lemonade. Once completely dry i stamped on the small moth stamp with black ink and kept stamping it until no ink left on the stamp so that i had lots of soft moths in the background.
I then took a circle swirl stencil and stencilled through it with gold starlights paint and edged the panel with the gold too - this has an amazing shimmer in the light. I added glossy accents to my lightbulbs to them a glass light effect and left to dry. Matted onto black cardstock and then my base card.
I stamped the moths, added slight colour with a blue wash and cut them out and arranged.
This shows the background before i added the moths, you can see the gold circle swirl better. When i stamped my lightbulbs i didnt ink up the cord of the stamp so that i could then add my own cords with a black fine liner pen and ruler - just gave me more freedom where i wanted them to go.
You can just make out the gloss on the lightbulbs.

Great card with a special encouraging message. I like the way you masked around the light bulbs. The added shimmer of the gold paint and the shine of the light bulbs were great additions to your card. Thanks for joining us at Addicted to Stamps and More!
