Dare To Be Sassy Thursday #25

Happy Solstice! Summer has officially arrived and what better way to celebrate than with a Sassy Studio Designs' weekly challenge? This week's directive was to create something summer-y. Details can be found here if you'd like to play along. You have until Thursday to link your creations.

Summer, in my opinion, is not complete without a trip to the beach. Ever since I was a kid my family would go to Old Orchard Beach in Maine. Every trip, we would stroll on the boardwalk, play in the arcades, go on the rides and consume as much fried, frozen, sugary, salty and otherwise bad for you junk food as we could! Cotton candy was always a weakness of mine, and, okay, I'll admit it; I still find it delightful and indulge on occasion! So I chose Sweet Cotton Candy Candace for my card. She was colored with Prismacolor Artmarkers and then I "fluffed" up her spun sugar treat with some Flower Soft in Raspberry Fizz.

Below are the other "ingredients" used to make my card:

Paper: Gable Green, Basic Black, Bashful Blue, Pink Passion and Pretty in Pink card stock (Stampin' Up); white card stock (Staples); Euphoria Cool and Delirium designer paper (Basic Grey)

Embellishments: Boardwalk dimensional sticker (Jolee's Boutique - EK Success); Blue gemstone brads (Recollections - Michaels); Circle and Scalloped Circle Nestabilities (Spellbinders); Spots and Dots embossing folder (Cuttlebug - Provo Craft); white gel pen (Signo - Uniball)

Thanks for looking and stay tuned because I have some VERY cool news to share!
