Make a spectacular celebration card featuring a city skyline with vibrant fireworks overhead. Using the Sparkle Everyday stamp set, you'll create a dramatic scene with custom-coloured embossed fireworks in shades of pink, blue and peach against a night sky. The design includes a detailed cityscape with water reflections, all brought to life through stamping and heat embossing techniques.

Heat set the embossing powder with your pre-heated heat gun, moving quickly across the design. Keep the heat gun moving to avoid scorching the card. The powder will melt and become shiny and raised.

Once the embossed piece has cooled completely, trim it down to size to fit your card front, ensuring the cityscape and fireworks design is centred.
