I have a card today for this week's One Layer Wednesday #135: Tall and Thin and CAS-ual Fridays CFC98: All that Glitters. I had this idea to play with color--I got a bunch of new SU inks over the weekend--and make a giant ice cream cone.
Perhaps my card will make more sense if I tell you that I have been 17 days without sugar. And, ice cream is my favorite food. I am trying to lose the 20 pounds that have found me in the past 2 years. It's no wonder that this is what I thought of in spin class this morning.
The dimensions of my card are 8 1/2 inches tall by 3 3/4 wide--it will fit in a #10 envelope. The little cherry on top is made with red glitter paper, and all of the ice cream scoops are outlined with a Gelly Roll glitter pen.
Supplies Used (PTI):
Stamps: Sweet as Can Be, Think Big Favorites
Paper: White
Ink: Kraft, Summer Sunrise, Limeade Ice, Aqua Mist, Hawaiian Shores, Hibiscus Burst, Winter Wisteria, SU: Tempting Turquoise, Pretty in Pink
Thanks for Visiting
Yay Joyce, you are an inspiration to us all! Love this HUGE ice cream cone that glitters. Now you can enjoy ice cream on paper instead, especially if it looks this good.

So in love! That ice cream scoop is the best ... you have a complete and total license to NOT line up your stamping ... hahaha! Again with the details (aside from the adorable cherry) I love that you did NOT stamp in the expected rainbow order, yet the colors all seem to flow so well.
ReplyDeleteNow where are my manners?! I neglected to thank you for playing with the CAS-ual Fridays challenge this week!
ReplyDeleteWhat a kick this card is, Joyce!! So incredibly delicious in every way and so perfect for the tall and thin OLW! What can be better than the world's tallest and most colorful ice cream cone?!!
