I played from this poster art for my creation. I stayed with the colors, ice cream theme, the over all layout and the layout of the Neapolitan ice cream.
Thanks again Stephanie!
-The image is colored with Prismacolor pencils, baby oil and paper stumps on the cone and cherry. Baby oil is a substitute for Gamsol.
-Glitter was added using Art Glitter adhesive and also added on the cherry without glitter for a clear raised look.
-A little tip that helps me when attaching panels to the embossed layers is that I use a bone folder to flatten the area that isnÂ’t seen so the adhesive can grab and hold better and this Swiss Dots seems to be the one I have the most problem with.
-For the envelope I used the mini folder and to hide the ugly line the folder caused while embossingÂ…I scored two lines using the Scor-Pal.
