The CAS challenge is to use some sparkle on a card.
I miss my DD who is spending time with the relatives on the East Coast. On the 4th of July she will be sitting on the beach in the dark watching the local fireworks over the ocean. Wish I could be there! Here is a CAS version of fireworks on the beach. I stamped the fireworks (from Bursting with Joy) in craft white and sprinkled Dazzling Diamonds while wet. Tore the edge of Baja Breeze for the ocean and put craft white and DD on the edge to make the surf. The sand is creamy caramel sponged with cc and close to cocoa. I tapped markers in browns and grey to make the sand.
I used broad striped ribbon behind the popped up main image with a few silver brads. I cut the sentiment out with the new modern label punch. I edged the sentiment in silver leaf.
A little sparkle in anticipation of the 4th of July.
Thanks for looking and commenting.

I love fireworks cards. Yours is great. It is a tricky thing to pull off, and you did it marvellously.
