My 2 1/2 year old Daughter helped me make this–it’ll be her Daddy’s birthday card. This is me trying to use up my scraps! I had a So Saffron Top Note cut out, a square of textured Taken with Teal, and a little piece of chocolate chip cardstock left over from previous projects. I still have TONS more scraps but I’m trying to use them wherever and whenever I can!
The base is Riding Hood Red cardstock, layered with the So Saffron (cut out using the Top Note Bigz Die). Next, I used a piece of textured Taken with Teal card stock (I’m newly obsessed with textured card stock) for a little bit of texture and color.
The image is from the level 3 hostess set Goody Goody Gumdrops. I stamped it on Watercolor Paper using Black Stazon ink. Then, using my watercolor brush and Watercolor crayons, I colored in the ice cream using several colors of brown, the glass with a light wash of blue, and the cherry of course, in red. I stamped the cherry once on top of the ice cream and again on another piece of watercolor paper. Then I cut out just the cherry (minus the stem) and adhered it to the sundae using a glue dot. The watercolor paper was matted onto a piece of chocolate chip card stock and adhered to the Teal.
Below the image is my favorite part of this card. I punched out a 1″ circle of chocolate chip cardstock and using the crop-a-dile, added a large Kiwi Corduroy brad. I adhered it to the card using dimensionals and tucked the sentiment behind it slightly. (I stamped the sentiment, also from Goody Goody, in Black Stazon on watercolor paper. Then, I clipped both corners with the Corner Rounder punch.)
