I made this card for this week's Alphabet Challenge letter of Q...can you spot my Q? I used the sketch challenge from last week to create this card.
The process of making this card was lengthy and amusing! I first did a practice ice cream cone to see if my idea would even work - I had to color it for my daughter to see what I was doing and agree that it worked.
I stamped and masked my ice cream using Distress inks for my ice cream and the cone. I then watercolored them pulling the color from the edges with the aqua brush. The cherry on top was colored using Copic markers. After everything was dry, I fussy cut it.
I thought of this dsp and thought it would be perfect...if not a bit busy. So I added the scalloped oval layer to help my cone stand out. My next problem to solve was the scalloped rectangle layer. I don't have any scalloped rectangles. I do have several scalloped squares and know how to do partial die cutting, but for this one, I needed to do partial die cutting in both directions to make my square wider and taller. I sort of achieved it, just don't look too closely because it is a little wonky on one side.
I heat embossed the sentiment and popped it up.
Now I want ice cream! lol Thanks for looking!
