Want the Scoop? Only if you're Sweet!

Here is my card for today!  Didn't it turn out cute?  I started with a sketch challenge from CPS.  I love the way they are always thinking outside my box- IE: basic A4 sized cards.  This one measure 3 x 6, I think it is a fun size to work with, a little extra room for creating but not so big as you end up feeling intimidated.  When it came time to choose my stamps it was a no brainer!  We have this amazing ice cream stamp set available in the Summer Mini (only two more days!!!!) and Sophisticat thought it was time to remember the kids and make a card geared to them.  This card  speaks to the child in all of us though doesn't it?  ;)  I am thinking it would be a great card to include a certificate for a trip to the local ice cream shop inside- hand crafted of course!
My colors come from Arielle at Color Q- I have yet to see a combo there that I didn't fall in love with immediately- you should really haunt her blog, the art over there is fabu-luscious!  Anyone who can get me creating with Cameo Coral has some talent I tell you!
Notice all the hardware on the card?  Tee-hee- how could you not?  I found a new site to surf to in the mornings...The Crazy Challenge!  Their latest challenge was to use buttons, eyelets and brads-- one, two or all if we could manage it!  I think that using a clear button keeps it from being overdone.  [Note: The post is in Bulgarian but thanks to Google translate that is no problem whatsoever.]  The team there is chock full of beautiful ideas, I try to enter challenges where the design team makes me think "oooh, I wish I could design like that!"  it keeps me growing as an artist, know what I mean?
Three of my layers were run through the Big Shot with a three different texturz plates- I didn't do anything to the Cameo Coral layer as not much was going to show.  The white layer used the words that come in the texturz kit #4- it is very subtle but it can be seen better in real life.  I also sponged some Sage Shadow around the white layer to connect the two uses of the color on the top a d bottom portions of the card.  The ice cream cone was stamped on left over white cs, clear embossed, cut out and layered up on dimensionals.  All n all a cute little card- this one looks good enough to eat!

Have a great night and
Keep on Inking!
