Welcome to Week 51 of CASology! Here's the cue word for this week:
I'm excited to be back and playing along in time to welcome my new teammates Gillian and Kimberly! These are two seriously talented ladies and you're going to love their work!
Now onto my card. I actually have a couple of fireworks stamps and I played around with them for ages but I just couldn't get them to cooperate with me and my ideas. I started hunting through the rest of my supplies to see if anything sparked any ideas and came across the Botanical Silhouettes stamp set from Papertrey Ink. I thought the dandelion flowers looked a lot like fireworks so I put them to work and they we so much more cooperative! I embossed them with tinsel and Zing embossing powders for some sparkle and went with colours that could be used for the 4th of July but I kept the sentiment generic enough that it could also be used for a birthday or congratulations card. Okay, you're turn to light some sparks! Check out the gorgeousness by the rest of the design team and then get craftin'!

Love your card! I was in the same boat as you with no fireworks stamp so I hunted, hunted, hunted and found some stamps that looked "fireworkey". Thanks for inspiring me to do this challenge. I haven't done a challenge in FOREVER!!! WOO HOO!!!
