Happy Sunday!
It's the last Sunday in June!
Maybe it's just me but June seemed to creep by. Let's hope July will do the same! This week is a holiday week in the U.S. with Independence Day is coming up on Friday! A big summer vacation week for much of our nation. So here's hoping everyone stays safe and blessed!

My Creative Time was very generous in giving the Design Team members some fabulous stamps to showcase in our projects this week.
Thank you!
So stop by the Cupcake Inspirations Challenge Blog and check out all the rest of the DT's projects. There are two sets we are sampling:
"And Then Some Stamp Set"
and
"Main Street"
I used the building stamps from "Main Street" on my card:
SPIES:
STAMPS: Buildings - "Main Street"(My Creative Time); Sentiment and fireworks-"Stamp America" (Cloud9Design by Colorbok).
PAPER: Red, navy and white cardstock; DP - Americana (Pebbles).
INK: Versamark; Moonlight White Brilliance (Memento); Nautical Blue (Memento); Black and gold emboss powder.
EXTRAS: Star stencil (Simon Says); Star dies (Papertrey Ink); Banner Die (Reverse Confetti); Wood veneer star (Simon Says); Red flower sequins (Paper Sweeties); 3D stickie dots.
I chose the "Main Street" set so I could make a cityscape fireworks card. I thought it would be perfect with the inspiration photo and theme. My first thought was red, white and blue buildings, but then I thought making the buildings black would give more of a nighttime effect.
This was the first time using the star stencil with my Memento Dew Drop inks. I think it came out really well.
