Ice Cream Heaven

Hi there,
I just love summer! I love the warmer weather, the beach days and indulging in ice cream. For today's post I created a card that incorporates 4 card challenges. First I went to Pals Paper Arts for PPA 102 - Summertime and the Livin' is Easy. Next I went to Mojo Monday for the 200th sketch challenge. Then I went to CR84FN for Color Challenge 34 and finally to Picture Perfect Challenges for their Speciality Challenge #8 of using 2 ribbons and 3 buttons.





































And here's my card:

The details are:

CS: Melon Mambo, Daffodil Delight, Whisper White, Pretty in Pink
DSP: Ice Cream Parlor (Sale-A-Bration)
Stamp Set: Sweet Scoops

Happy Birthday - Take #2

I loved the orange/yellow Happy Birthday card I created last time and thought I'd try it with a different set of colours. Which one do you like best?

Here's the quick recipe:
CS: Melon Mambo, Pacific Point Very Vanilla
DSP: Ice Cream Parlor, Brights DSP Pack
Other Elements: Ice Cream Parlor Quick Accents (scallop edge, scallop circles)
Stamp Set: Bring on the Cake
Ink: Pacific Point (ink pad), Melon Mambo (marker)
* Stamp the "Happy Birthday" sentiment in Pacific Point and then colour in with the Melon Mambo marker *

Happy Birthday!

A coworker of mine asked me to create an orange/yellow inspired birthday card for her daughter who was turning 11.
I jumped at the opportunity (of course, another excuse to make a card)!

Here is what I came up with:

Here's the quick recipe:
CS: Peach Parfait, Daffodil Delight, Very Vanilla
DSP: Ice Cream Parlor
Other Elements: Ice Cream Parlor Quick Accents (scallop edge, scallop circles)
Stamp Set: Bring on the Cake
Ink: Pumpkin Pie (ink pad), Daffodil Delight (marker)
* Stamp the "Happ Birthday" sentiment in pumpkin pie and then colour in with the daffodil delight marker *

Enjoy the long weekend!
