Loads of Fun!

Today is Carnival Day!  When I think of carnivals I think of games, popcorn and a Ferris wheel.  Today's card takes me back to the carnivals I used to go to when I was little.
The base of the card is made from Whip Cream Cardstock.  I cut another piece of Whip Cream Cardstock measuring 3 1/2 square and attached this to the card with a little piece of scotch tape.  I then stamped the Ferris Wheel in Black Licorice Ink and the Fireworks in Beach Breeze, Lemon Drop and Kiwi Slice Ink Pads from the Loads of Fun Stamp Set.  After I was done stamping, I removed the piece and matted it on to a piece of Lemon Drop Cardstock measuring 3 5/8 square.  I then adhered this whole thing to the card.
I then used Journey Glaze to outline the fireworks and then dusted them with Journey Sparkle Dust.
I stamped the sentiment from the same set in Black Licorice Ink below the stamped images.
To finish the card, I used Black Licorice Twine and Beach Breeze Thread and wrapped them both together around the card and added a Mini Wooden Clothespin.  Enjoy!

    This card is so cool! I've seen many of the Ferris wheels lately, but this is the first with fireworks and it is so perfect for the background. And the non traditional colors also make it striking! Have been trying to find that particular fireworks stamp and can't. (I'm soooo stuck when I see something I really like - it is hard for me to break out on my own. ) :-( Ca you share?

      Ooops! Just realized this post was from 2016! You were way ahead of your time! Doubt that stamp is still around.
