WWC123 - Marsha's "Fireworks" Theme Challenge

Woo Hoo!  It's time for another challenge and this one is perfect for this time of the year.  Marsha Reed is hosting a theme challenge all about Fireworks.  Exciting?  You bet!


This is a challenge which had many of the Watercooler Artists working overtime trying to figure out an awesome way to portray fireworks.  The results?  Check for yourselves.  You won't believe the stamps, dies and even rhinestones that can give an illusion of fireworks.  Are you ready to be inspired?  We begin with Marsha's awesome use of the April 2016 My Paper Pumpkin stamps.









And now it's your turn.  You can join us by linking up your creation with the InLinkz at the bottom of this challenge.  

Remember:
          1.  This must be a new project---no back-linking to a previous post.
