Triple Ice Cream Cone Friend Card

Created this Triple Ice Cream Cone Friend Card using Neopolitan Ice Cream Colors (Chocolate, Strawberry & Vanilla), Paper Take Weekly sketch (see sketch below), Kraft cardstock, Nana's Kitchen matstack, Nana's Nursery Baby Girl matstack, triple sentiment (Fiskars stamps & Whimsical Designs stamps), embossed powder, bling, buttons, fabric (I won this trim from Charlotte of A little bit of detail site) and a little bit of this & that. 

I worked on this for quite awhile and started over a couple times with color choices.

Paper pieced the ice cream cones after stamping on Kraft cardstock & colored cardstock.Used Spellbinders for a mat behind the stamped ice cream cones. Added bling (to resemble ice cream drips), buttons (for the Neopolitan ice cream flavors), fabric (that somewhat resembles ice cream drips) & glitter (ice cream drips).

Created the triple sentiment using 2 different stamp stamps.

    1. You have good eyes on recognizing the trim. Have updated the post to mention that I won the trim from you. Had your name on a card you sent with the trim and overlooked it at the time I made the posting. Thanks for adding to my trim creativity.
