Ice Cream



I love this stamp I just love the ice cream and the way you can see the little girls panties (bloomers, shorts, or what ever you want to call them) with the polka-dots so cute any ways this is a stamp from The Angle Company I just purchased through my one of my sbs-15 sister Lisa. For this card I used the Sketch challenge from Jen Del muro's blog a few weeks ago I'm just now getting to it our sisterhood-15 decided to use this sketch also. I used some of the paper I purchased at the expo from scrap works love this paper and if you notice on the side right hand side I used my crop-a-dile to emboss the circles I used the eyelet setting part of the crop-a-dile. Don't squeeze to hard or it will make a hole. I didn't come up with it I found it on Beate's blog. (It's below setting an eyelet.) For my scallops I used my corner rounder and just colored my image in with my copics that's it. I hope you have a great day and thanks for visiting.
