Ice Cream Ribbons

I set out to make a summery bday card so I pulled out MFT's Your'e the Sweetest Stamps & Dies. When I saw their latest Sketch Challenge, I just had to dig out these ice-cream colored ribbons - don't they just go so perfectly with the mint ice cream theme? I know I've made several of these types of cards in the past, but it was fun to be able to use all five of the ribbons, thanks to the inspirational sketch. 

The scalloped circle is popped up with a foam circle behind it, and the ice cream cone is popped up with foam adhesive squares for added dimension. I purposely adhered the ice cream scoops in a haphazard way to add interest. Finished off the background with a few creamy pink enamel dots. Thanks so much for stopping by!

Entering this in the MFT Wednesday Sketch Challenge #501.

One last summer card

Masculine cards always pose a problem for me- I don't have enough stamps to create an appropriate focal point. Thankfully it's still summer and Popsicles definitely fit the bill for everyone! The Sweet Celebration 6x6 paper pad from My Favorite Things made choosing papers super easy. Entering this in the My Favorite Things Sketch Challenge #397:

Still in Summer Mode

Yes the kids are back in school and yes, Halloween is right around the corner, but I am still in Summer Mode! Love the sketch at Fusion but I'm following sketch only - just can't get my Halloween stuff out yet. I was able to squeeze in two cards for this challenge. I was able to use some Nuvo Crystal Drops that I made awhile ago. This has saved me as I am usually so very last minute that I don't have time to wait for those drops to dry before I have to get my card in the mail. I'm so happy I made a whole bunch ahead of time! TFL!

Entering this in FMS300. Thanks for looking!
