A Conductor of Light

 A friend asked me to make a birthday card for her grown son who is an electrician and while I was trying to think of what I could use to personalize this card, I remembered I had purchased a light bulb set from Ellen Hutson probably a year ago - and never used it yet - so after I found the set in my craft room (!?) I created this card.

The sentiment and light bulbs are from a set called Conductor of Light - Essentials by Ellen.  The vagabond gentlemen was cut out of a a newly purchased DP - Sir Vagabond by Stamperia.  The solar system is a piece of DP from Cosmos by Stamperia that I purchased last year.  The birthday is in January so I turned the solar system so  that January was showing (just above the light bulbs) on the background piece.

I colored the lightbulbs and sentiment smooshing the pieces into Distress Inks spritzed with water on my craft mat.  I fussy cut the vagabond and layered him and the light bulbs onto the card with foam dots.  I added some Clear Glitter Wink of Stella around the filaments of the bulbs but it doesn't show up in the photo.

This card is 5 1/2" x 5 1/4"

This is what I stamped on the inside of my card -  the earth is from Big World by Altenew, the sentiment is from Stop Drop Party by Simon Says Stamp.
