ABC11I9: Today's letter is the letter I. I for ice cream! I think that is the only I that I have going here.
My background panel is made using Monday's technique lover's challenge of merging backgrounds. I merged French Filigree and En Francais stamping each of them on half of the background. Then, since I wanted an ice cream themed card, I sponged it in thirds going for the neapolitan ice cream look. Chocolate Chip seemed an appropriate ink name for that!
I used today's sketch to make the card, matting my back panels with Chocolate Chip and my circle in Pixie Pink.
I stamped my tumbling ice cream cone to make the border piece and watercolored the ice cream to all be strawberry but watercolored the three cones on the truck to be in the three neapolitan colors.
I colored my ice cream truck with Copic markers, gave it some shadow on the ground and then decided the white was a bit too bright so lightly sponged Soft Sky around the truck.
Do you like ice cream? I sure do!
Thanks for looking!

Oh my goodness Catherine, this card is soooo cute and so perfect for all of the challenges too. Your Neapolitan ice cream merging background is so creative and so fun and really does highlight your fabulous pink ice cream truck! I love Larry and Luna's chocolate walnut brownie ice cream made with coconut milk- yum! I can tell you had a lot of fun making this absolutely delightful card for all of the challenges. Fun! ~Karen.
