#GDP429 So Hot, So Cool (in Florida, in January, its 80!)

 Oh my! Where has the time gone, I blinked and most of January had flown by.   I was out of town and missed GDP challenge #428, but I made up for with 2 cards, stay tuned for those.  Today's card is for this week's challenge #GDP429 which is a color challenge using Poppy Parade, Gray Granite, and Lost Lagoon.

Florida had a see-saw flip-flop in weather this week, after 3 days below 45 we had dramatic increase to 3 days with highs in the 80s... in January!  I think this warm weather helped me decide which stamp set to feature for this week's challenge, the Carnival Treats in the January to April Mini catalogue, its a Host Set so it is hidden in the back. It reminds me of the old ICEE shop and shopping at our local "small" wal-mart as a kid with my grandma (before Super-Walmart came to town).

Here I used the gray granite card base with a lost lagoon off set layer.  I used the Stamp-n-Write Markers to color in on the slurpee stamp from the Carnival Treats stamp set in Poppy Parade and Lost Lagoon, with the bubble top in Gray Granite.  When I pulled my So Cool stampset out there were leftover pieces from a previous project that reminded me of the Rays of Light stamp set and it looked perfect for this set.  I used the Stamp-N-Write markers again to color in the rays in an alternating pattern.  I added adhesive backed sparkle gems and some wink of stella to the slurpee. mmm, yummy  Images are Copyright (c) Stampin' Up!

I hope you enjoy this simple in color, simple in stamping, but otherwise refreshing card that is perfect for all ages.
