A Big Bang!
Nope. This post is not about anything sitcom related. It’s just time for a new CASology cue word challenge and this week’s word is full of excitement!
I personally love fireworks and the BOOM!, crackle and dazzling display that we get to see each Fourth of July here in the USA! On the occasion that I miss them due to weather or life circumstances, I find myself feeling pretty disappointed! Must be the little girl in me. That said, I decided to try to create the emotion that accompanies observing fireworks!

| Stamps: CAS-ual Fridays Paper: Paper Trey cardstock (white) Ink: Memento (Tuxedo Black) Accessories: Smooch spray, Balzer Designs stencil, clear gemstones |
There is actually a little sparkle to the Smooch spray I used, but I couldn’t get the lighting to show it well. I used a simple stencil to create the background, stamped the bold sentiment and embellished with three clear gemstones.
I hope you take some time to visit the blogs of the rest of the design team and our guest designer this week! Lots of fireworks going off for your viewing pleasure! We have two new design team members joining us this week, so be sure and leave them some love! Then, be sure and link up your own fireworks creation on the challenge blog by Sunday at 4:00 p.m. (CDT)!

You totally captured the excitement of fireworks here, Melissa! There really is something magical about them isn't there?
Neat little stencil! At first I thought it was one of those circular plastic canvas things. Great card. Thanks for inspiring me to do this challenge. I haven't done a challenge in FOREVER!!!
