This is my card for CC529. Barbara is our hostess and she chose crushed curry, melon mambo, and tangerine tango for her color palette. Dessert is to use green. I tried to incorporate it on my card but I couldn't get it to fit.
With these bold colors I decided to use some of my new MFT ice cream dies. My layout is this week's MOJO396 sketch.
I cut the angled panels with the MFT blueprints 18 dies. The dsp is Stampin-Up's flowerpot and flashback collections.
The pierced cardstock separating the dsp is cut with the MFT blueprints 15 die in crushed curry.
The ice cream cone is soft suede and melon mambo layered on a Spellbinders pierced rectangle. I scattered some Stampin-Up candy dots. Stamped my sentiment in tangerine tango and added some flags to complete the card.
Hope you can play along with us this week. You may be our next CC fave and have your card featured on our Pinterest board. We are choosing our guest designers and hostesses from the weekly faves this year.
Accessories: : Blueprints 15 & 18, Sweet Treats Dies, and Flag Stax dies (MFT), pierced rectangles and circle dies (Spellbinders), candy dots (Stampin-Up)

I'm always interested to see how artists use elements from the Blueprints sets! You combined them and used this great sketch to make an adorable, summery, bright and happy card! Love it!

You did a great job combining these two challenges Mary!! I like the way you have the matching coordinating designer papers. The thin diagonal strip looks awesome!! :>)
