I stamped this card last Friday (and blogged this post) while I was CRAVING my first ice cream cone from our local Scoop Shop...Elmer Twist. My husband told me they opened this week, but I'm waiting for him to get home so we can take a walk together. We also have a birthday party to go to tomorrow and I thought this would be a perfect card! I think I need to make a second to keep for my display!
This card uses a couple more sneak peeks from the Summer Mini. The stamp set is an obvious one....more on that in a minute. But, hold your horses! I LOVE LOVE LOVE this color combo! I know, I know...more Pumpkin Pie and Turquoise. But, this time I threw in some Rose Red! Who woulda thunk it? Not me! But, there it is on page 27 of the Summer Mini Catalog in the Island Oasis DSP! SU rocked my color world yet again! I love the new, bright, fresh color combinations they're bringing us!
If you are one of those blog/internet surfers out there looking for new stamps, you've seen this one around. It's actually from the Summer Mini Catalog BUT, I've had it for MONTHS! I earned it for free during a Regional Conference contest back in January! I've seen lots of samples out there. The stamp set is called Sweet Scoops. SO CUTE!
I stamped the rounded scoops first in Pumpkin Pie and Rose Red. Then, using the masking technique, I stamped the cones in Creamy Caramel. The middle guy is Tempting Turquoise and he was also masked before I stamped the Creamy Caramel cone, cut him out, and popped him up with dimensionals. I probably didn't need to mask it, but it was simple.
I also made it more difficult on myself and punched several 3/4" circles and glued them to the bottom. Sure, I could have used my scallop edge punch, but I wanted them to be bigger and coordinate with the scoops.
What do you think?
So gosh darn cute!
