Hi crafty friends!
This weather we have been having has been crazy one day at the park and out for ice cream because it was in the 80s then a few days later it was cold and we even got some snow.
I'm really ready for some summer weather to stay so this Monday I have a card to share made with Avery Elle's adorable Cool Treats Stamp set.
I started by stamping all of the images onto a smooth 8 1/2"X 11" sheet of cardstock in different directions to keep them as close together as I could. I used my Tim Holtz stamp platform to make it easier to re stamp if I didn't get a clear image.
After all of the images where stamped in Momento black ink I colored them all in with alcohol markers. I really didn't want to cut into the background when I was done it looked so cool. I love all of the bright colors. I did give in and started to die cut into the large piece. I ended up getting four cards made with my background paper.
For my first card I matted the pattern paper onto some glitter cardstock and two different colors of cardstock.
My first card was kept simple I stamped the sentiment and die cut a banner out of it.
My second card I made a frame with my pattern paper and adhered it with foam tape.
I fussy cut some of the treats for the center of the card and stamped the sentiment below the treats.
My third card was almost the same as the first but a added a larger matte of glitter cardstock.
After all of the coloring I didn't want to color to much of the paper up.
For my fourth and last card I added a die cut stitched circle in the middle with glitter cardstock coming out of the sides.
I added a snow cone with some Clear Nuvo drops over the top of the snow cone to give it a glazed look. For the sentiment I curved the stamp up to give it a little circle shape.
Thanks for stopping by today! Hope you have a great week.
