Color Challenge - use two or more of the retiring In-Colors with dessert to make your own background. I used Delightful Dijon - cone, Watermelon Wonder - strawberry ice cream scoop & layer, Mint Macaron - mint chocolate chip ice cream scoop and card base. The background is stamped. The confetti is heat embossed with Iridescent Ice powder to add some fun sparkle.
Every year when the new In-Colors are premiered, I buy the marker set and the assorted cardstock pack. With these, I can play with the new colors and decide if I want the ink pad for any of them. This time, I only got the Mint Macaron pad & cardstock. I used markers direct to stamps for the other colors.
Alphabet Challenge - M - Mint Macaron, Masking, Markers, Masking to stack ice cream cone, Multiple stamping for background, Mint Chocolate Chip ice cream - a personal favorite. Double Challenge - Mother's Day. My Mother's Day cards have already been mailed, so I made this one for a mother. My MIL has her birthday in May. She likes ice cream as much as we do and strawberry is her favorite.
Have a marvelous rest of your weekend. TFL

Like you my favorite was the Mint! The Mint is a great background for your yummy ice cream cone! Like your idea of markers and paper, last year I ordered the package of paper with all the colors to see which one I liked before ordering a full package.

Looks good enough to eat! That Mint Macaroon is perfect for this card. Great job on the "M" challenge as well as the color challenge. Thank you for your inspiration, Diane!
