CAS-ual Fridays Challenge - Red, White, Blue

Hi everyone!  It's time for another CAS-ual Fridays challenge.  This week, in honor of the 4th of July here in the United States, we're creating cards using our patriotic colors:  red, white & blue!

For my card today I used these awesome stamps and dies from CAS-ual Fridays:

Exclamations              Smiling             Funky Round Tag             Fun-Fetti

             

How about some homemade fireworks!  Bravo!

For this card I also used the following supplies:
Ink: clear emboss (Versamark)
Paper: silver shine cardstock (My Favorite Things), lipstick red, soft navy (Simon Says Stamp), white 140 lb cardstock (Neenah).
Accessories: white embossing powder (WOW!), dimensional tape (3M).

If you look closely you can see I used white embossing powder to add a subtle coordinating pattern to the white cardstock underneath the diecuts.

BONUS CARD!
And in the spirit of our red, white and blue celebration I thought I'd make one more!  Frankly, I couldn't resist playing with these CAS-ual Fridays goodies:

Frankly              Zigs & Zags              Fun-Fetti

  

For this card I also used the following supplies:
Ink: blue jay (Simon Says Stamp), pale tomato (Hero Arts Shadow Ink), onyx black (Versafine), clear emboss (Versamark).
Paper: lipstick red, black (Simon Says Stamp), silver shine cardstock (My Favorite Things) white 140 lb cardstock (Neenah).
Accessories:  clear glitter pen (Wink of Stella), clear embossing powder, white embossing powder (WOW!).


See the pretty sparkle from the Wink of Stella?

I hope you'll play along with us for your chance to win!
