Wow! It has been awhile since I've played along with the Global Design Project. In fact, the last one I think I did (according to my saved photos) is GDP065 when I was a guest - and #61 before that! When I saw this week's challenge I knew I wanted to play along. The Cupcakes & Carousels stamp set from Stampin' Up! is probably the obvious choice - but these fun images in the set are hard not to use for this theme.
I have not used this set as much as I had hoped but I have found that I really like this sentiment. I used my Stampin' Write Markers to color the sentiment for some extra fun detail. When I think of the amusement park or the carnivals I think of all the fun colors, fonts and lights that are on the food trucks/buildings.
I added some Bermuda Bay DSP from the Cupcakes & Carousels Designer Series Paper Stack on the bottom half of the Calypso Coral card base. (This card is 3"x 6")
I created my own banner by simply adding some extra white cardstock at an angle underneath the sentiment. Cut each piece like a small banner and place a Stampin' Dimensional between the pieces of white CS.
Extra details on this card include the Peekaboo Peach enamel dots from the In-Color Enamel Shapes, some Peekaboo Peach 3/8" Ruched Ribbon and some Calypso Coral splatter made with an Aqua Painter.
I masked the tent image a few times - looks like a grand circus!
I hope you like this card! Makes me want to go to the state fair now! :)
Be back tomorrow for our 100th challenge for TGIF!
Blessings,
Holly
