What Am I Doing?!?

This is my first blog post and I have no idea what I'm doing and/or if I'm doing it correctly.  I figured it doesn't hurt to try right?!

Why Am I Doing This?
Simple, I've been inspired to create a card based upon a challenge some of my fellow Stampin' Up demonstrators posted and I needed someplace to display it...

But also because I want to be able to give the appropriate credit to the real authors when I case cards or find cool techniques.


Festive Friday Challenge

Today's card is for Festive Friday Challenge of State Fair and/or Turquoise.  I was a bit stumped on what to do for this challenge until I remembered that my favorite part of going to fairs is the food...


Then I remembered I had cotton candy (hands-down my favorite fair food) from Queen & Co's Candy Land Kit.  I used Stampin' Up whisper white cardstock and bermuda bay cardstock to match the Candy Land striped paper.  The stamps are also from the Candy Land kit.  I used Bermuda Bay Light Stampin' Blends Marker to color some clear rhinestones.  The die is from a set of netting dies I've had for a while (no idea where they're from) and to finish it off, I brushed Clear Wink of Stella in a few places.

Hope you like this card and if I did anything wrong on my first blog post, please let me know.
