Hi! This card was made for today's Free 4 All Challenge: I scream, You scream, We all scream for Ice cream AND it fits this week's Speedy's Friends Challenge.
Well...I don't have any ice cream stamps. However, I do have a CUPCAKE stamp that I used for the scoops! I stamped the top part of the cupcake 3 times and sponged in Toile Pink Palette Ink for the strawberry and Wild Honey for the French Vanilla scoop. I used Memento Markers for the cherries.
I cut out each "scoop" and layered them.
The cone was made by stamping a SNEAK PEEK from Background Fun in Adirondack Pitch Back. Next, I sponged in Adirondack Ginger and Epresso. I cut a triangle from the stamped image and then edged the sides with a Memento Marker to make it look stamped.
The background was run through a Tim Holtz Sizzix texture Folder to mimic the cone.
Finished card size: 5" square
Total Time to complete: 42 minutes...I had to think about how to make the Ice cream cone!
