Hi, everyone! It´s Silvana here from Casa Magnolia and I´m so happy to be in the Picket Fence Studios´ blog today.
Summertime has arrived and that means it´s ice cream season! I know that for those of us who love ice cream, all year round is ice cream season. But on hot summer days, they are much more enjoyable, don´t you agree? And, as the sentiment says, "Ice cream makes everything better".
I created two cards in different colors but with the same design:
I made the background with the new Wreath building: Ice cream you scream stamp set. I used the Stampwheel to create a repetitive pattern. For the pink card I used a black pigment ink and used an embossing powder with pink speckles, that dries clear but leaves the color. For the lilac card I stamped everytime with a different ink.
I thought it would be fun to make a popsicle for the sentiment. So, I used an oval die from the Basic Die cutting Set 1 with a pink cardstock and cut the bottom part, so the shape ressembles a popsicle. I stamped the sentiment from the Ice cream set with embossing ink and put over some white embossing powder.
I found a popsicle wooden stick and cut it in half to use it on the two cards. I glued it behind my popsicle shape.
To assemble the card I cut the background 3/8" smaller than an A2 card, put a mat slightly bigger behind with the same pink cardstock and tape it over a light kraft cardstock card base with foam tape. I glued the popsicle sentiment over. To finish it up I added some embellishments from the Bee My Friend sequin mix plus.
And that´s my card! The lilac one doesn´t have the embellishments, but the process was the same.
I hope you like these cards and that you find the opportunity to create your own and give it to an ice cream lover. I leave you at the bottom the list of products in case you need some of them.
Thank you so much for stopping by the blog today and I hope you´re enjoying the summertime.
Se you in my next post.
Silvana.
