This is my sample for CC696. Pam is our hostess and she has chosen pineapple punch, pear pizzazz and calypso coral for her color trio. Dessert Option this week is a tropical treat. No pineapple punch ink or cardstock yet so I subbed daffodil delight.
I chose ice cream as my treat and created the cone with a die from CottageCutz. For the ice cream scoops, I sponged calypso coral, daffodil delight and pear pizzazz on whisper white cardstock and then cut with the die. I wanted a softer look than I would get using those colors of cardstock. The cone has 2 layers to it and I used baked brown sugar cardstock and sponged the inside layer to get a darker shade.
The background dsp is from the Stampin'-Up "under the sea" and "petal garden" collections. I used the MFT blueprints 18 dies to cut the dsp and blueprints 15 for the coral strip that is angled.
The sweet phrase is also a die from CottageCutz. I cut it 3x to get more definition. I finished off my card by stamping my sentiment and adding some pear pizzazz and calypso coral enamel dots.
My finished card is 4 ½" x 5 ¾". I didn't have any 12 x 12 paper, so I did a hinge technique to get a bigger card base. See this blog post for more photos and details on how I do this.
Basically, I cut 2 calypso coral panels at 5 ¾" x 4 ½" and another panel at 2" x 5 ¾". I score this 2" panel at 1" and then use score tape to secure to the larger panels. You end up with a card base of 4 ½" x 5 ¾".
Hope you can play along with us this week. Pam has chosen some great colors, and we would love to see your creativity with how you use them.

Mary, this ice cream cone looks good enough to eat, right off the card! I love the larger size, and the clever way you created it. Love the dimension on the "Sweet," and the layout of the card. Fun!
