Sweet!

Wednesday, April 30, 2014

This card is one that would be great for any kind of celebration, and when the end of the school year rolls around, I'm always in need of celebration cards!

I used the ice cream image from the Tim Holtz Mini Blueprints 6 set, with a bit of masking, for the main image. The Viva la Verve April 2014 Week 4 sketch has a heart as the center element, so, after coloring the ice cream cones, I dry embossed a heart using a die, over the image. All the teeny hearts on the card came from the heart circle die cut that is behind the image. I added some Glossy Accents to the ones on the ice cream cones to make them look a little like cherries, then I liked it so much, I did the same to the rest of them, too. The "Sweet" sentiment is from an MFT Stamps set, and was heat embossed with a red glitter ep.
The inside is simple, but took a little bit of planning to be able to use the slivers of scraps that were left from the front of the card, but I do love using up those little scraps. ;) The sentiment is from the Birthday Sentiments MFT Stamps set.

Thanks for stopping by, and have a Sweet Week!
