The challenge today was so much fun that I just couldn't stop myself from making another card. It was to use a single stamp set to make DSP and the card with punches only allowed for the sentiment.
I'm off sick today and making cards takes very little energy so I can do it in between naps.
For this card I used Sweet Treats from CC Desings and stamped the DSP paper with the ice cream cone and coloured each one of them and then added the stripes. I masked off two rows of cones and stamped on the sweet and then added the dashed stripe in light brown. I sponged the edge of the BG panel.
I stamped, coloured and sponged the edges of the main panel and then made the small word panel.
Then I guess I must have chanelled Markie's Mom because after I put the whole thing together I went crazy on the dots. I just couldn't stop myself and kept adding more.
I finished off with the large chocolate polka dot brad and the three smaller strawberry ones from the dollar store.
I loved doing this challenge and hope everyone likes my card as much as I liked making it. This card was really fun to make. Made I've had the ribbon for a long time and somehow pink and chocolate ribbon makes me think of icecream cones and summer time. Making the card made me hope for summer time and ice cream cones to hurry up and get here.
Lightened the day of rain that is taking away all the snow. I would love it to stay so we can go skidooing this weekend but I don't think so. It is supposed to snow later but all that will do is produce some lovely slippery conditions and black ice.
Hmm think I'll go back to dreaming of icecream cones and summer.
Thanks for looking and for the comments.
