Today is Bloggers Challenge Day and the challenge theme is create your own background.  I created my card by stamping the the bubble wrap background stamp twice. First I stamped it in denim blue. then I moved the stamp down and to the right about a quarter inch and stamped it again in butterscotch. The image and sentiment are both from the Rogue Redhead Carnival Dreams stamp set. I thought that the theme was an appropriate since Mardi Gras (Fat Tuesday) is February12th.

I colored the image with Tombow markers and added a little rhinestone bling to the Mardi Gras costumes. I will also be entering my card into the Creative Belli challenge which is rhinestones, Tuesday Throwdown which is bling it on, and Cornish Heritage Farms which is use a die cut on your card.
