Betsy’s We All Scream for Ice Cream summer card

Hello everyone!  Betsy here sharing this cute, season-appropriate ice cream card!  I used the We All Scream For Ice Cream stamp set.  Let me show you how I made my card.

I composed and sized my image on the computer and printed it out onto white card stock.  I did also computer journal a sentiment a bit later, die cut it and backed it with colored card stock. Then I started by coloring the waffle cone.  I google imaged waffle cones using Copic markers so I could get the colors right.

I started on the bottom layers of ice cream.  To give the ice cream some texture, I did not color the whole scoop of ice cream.  I colored darker on the left and lighter to the right.  I also used slightly curved dashes to show texture and left a fair amount of white space.

After the coloring was done, I fussy cut the image leaving a narrow white border.  Next I prepared my background.

I used a polka dot embossing folder and card stock that matched the 3 colors of the ice cream.  I cut the colored card stock into ½” strips and adhered them diagonally on the top left and bottom right corners.  I adhered that panel and to the White panel I had already trimmed out and then adhered that to an A2 size white card base.  Then, I used the embossing folder for texture. 

I adhered clay sprinkles to my ice cream with Glossy Accents and I did a small amount of green metallic splatter.  I added more glossy accents to the ice cream to make it look wet.  I popped up the ice cream cone with foam tape as well as the left side of the sentiment which I used liquid glue to adhere it to the cone where it overlapped.  And that finished my card!

Til next time…
