You're The Bomb

I'm baaack! I guess I needed a few days to recharge, since it's been four days since I took a photo of a card. Wow.

Today I combined two challenges to make this:

 

I started with the current CAS-ual Friday's challenge:

and got my color inspiration from the current Just Add Ink challenge:

Being an occasional over-achiever, I did both the top row and right column of the Tic-Tac-Toe challenge, combining chevrons (on the bomb), black, sequins, embossing, and twine.

Here's my card again since I've blathered past the fold:

 

I opened my had-to-have-but-not-yet-used CAS-ual Friday's Ka-Boom stamp set and stamped both the bomb and the sentiment in Memento Luxe ink, then clear-embossed them. I twisted three colors of twine to anchor the images. The coral layer of card stock is from A*Muse Studio (Burano) that I purchased a few years ago.

Also from the stash are the star sequins. I thought they'd be good extensions from the 'sploding bomb.

Yes, there is a lot of white space here, and yes, I'm a bit twitchy. But I did walk away and leave it like this, so there's hope for me yet!

Thanks for stopping by!

Stuff I used: Misc star sequins (I bought them from someone else and don't know the source), Divine Twine in green and purple, A*Muse Studio Burano card stock, vat of clear embossing powder I got eons ago from Viva Las Vegas Stamps, and the following:
