WWC123 - There is No Winner This Week

As the title says, there is no winner this week for Marsha's "Fireworks" Theme Challenge.  And, while we have three link ups, two were by the same person so I've only shown one of her cards.  I'd like to thank Heather Hopson and Papyrus Studio for joining our challenge and sharing their great "fireworks" designs.

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.
