Hi there. Hope you all enjoyed the first official day of summer...well at least here in NY it was ...lol. What a gorgeous day too. We spent most of our day outside, and ended with a good old fashion family bike ride. Well, I wanted to cool off, so I headed down to the stamp room to make a card. I made this for 3 different challenges. This week's
Cupcake Craft Challenge is "Strawberries & Cream", and they left it up to us to translate that. Well I decided to use it as a color challenge. I also decided to "combine" 2 sketch challenges. This week's
Sweet Stop Sketch was almost the same as a sketch challenge that was posted on my
LSS's blog(Buffalo Stamps and Stuff). There are a few differences, like the scallops on the
Sweet Stop Sketch, and the embellishments around the oval on the
LSS's sketch, but I thought it would be fun to try to combine them. So...here is what I came up with.
This week's Sweet Stop Sketch also includes a twist...which is to decorate the inside of your card. Well I usually don't do that, but I thought it would be fun to play along with the twist, and here it is.
So...just a little info about the card. I used all pinks and cream as my colors for this. I stamped the cow image (from TAC) with pink ink. I used some pink CS scraps and added the cow spots to them (image also from the TAC set). I used a scalloped eyelet punch from SU on a lighter shade of pink. The sentiment is from QKR Stampede. Last I added some pearlized pink and cream brads, and some liquid pearl to the ice cream, bow, and tongue. For the inside, I used some strips of CS that I trimmed off the front pieces, and added a pink ice cream cone from another TAC set.
Well I think I covered it all...lol. Have a great day!
