Polka Dot Ice Cream

The challenge at Stamp Something is to “case” one of Cindy’s cards and make it your own. I chose Cindy’s card from May 9, 2008.

CindyfirstsThis is my take on Cindy’s card. It’s very similar but with my spin. I love pink and brown together.

Polka Dot Ice Cream

I cut the ice cream cone out using the Cricut Doodlecharms cartridge. I used foam tape to raise the ice cream and the sentiment. The scallop edge is a Martha Stewart punch.

Colour Create's challenge is pink, brown and red so I added a little deep red to Cindy’s card. After I finished the card I realized that the Card-a-Licious challenge was to use pink, brown and scallops.

As you can see, I’ve been busy today making cards. I guess I better take a little break tomorrow and get some other things done but I love creating cards!!!

I’m loving the Windows Live Writer. If you haven’t used it, you should give it a try. It is so much easier to compose a post and you don’t have the trouble with adding photos, spacing problems and such. It’s much easier to add hyperlinks too. It has a lot of other features that I haven’t needed yet. Go check it out here!

Blessings,

Christine

Wonderful spin on the original card! Your colors really pop and adding the raised elements really gave it dimension! Wonderful scalloped edge too!

p.s. Thanks for dropping in on "tea" :)
I'll look forward to having you next week too!

I'm so glad I'm learning from you!!! Yes, someday I will really be doing a project!

Two things, go back to my blog, look on the left side under FREE STUFF. Click on Cute and Cool Blog Stuff. She is giving away a complete digital collage sheet. Anything you want from her etsy store! How good is that? I emailed and had my digital sheet in a couple of hours.

Also, is there any way to cut a dense cardboard for tags? Other than by hand? Like a punch or something? I'm so clueless. That's why I read what you have to say every day! :-)
