This card is for Raise the Bar's "beat the heat" theme. I started with this DP from MME's Paris & Co. I created my cone by cutting a triangle from kraft CS and embossing it with the plaid Sizzix EF. The 2 "scoops" of ice cream are actually the top portion of Verve's cupcake image that I paper pieced. The sketch uses Shannon's awesome layout for the Viva la Verve challenge for week #3 in the Verve forum. My new Verve goodies arrived today, so the sentiment was stamped on a small tag die cut from Vintage Cream CS.
What else did I use?
STAMPS: Carpe Cupcake (Verve), Love Notes (Verve)
PAPER: Paris & Co. (My Mind's Eye), Chocolate Chip, Vintage Cream, Fine Linen
INK: Chocolate Chip
ACCESSORIES: Herringbone & Plaid EFs, Small tag dies by Verve, Baker's twine, Paper doily, Fine Linen satin ribbon (PTI), Small flower punch, Pearls.

Hi Wanda! You've put a lot of work into this card and it shows. My favorite is your neutral colored scheme and it make the ice cream look more realistic. Thanks for the inspiration as always.
