Ice Cream Card

Yummy!!!

Inside Card

I made this card for a little friend of mine who just turned 7..First I drew the ice cream on a stick on folded paper so it would open up...I cut it out and then used colored pencils to color it...I added ice cream cone stickers, red jewels for cherries on top, some paper lace and itsy bitsy buttons...I stamped the saying inside in blue ink...When the card is opened it says Happy birthday and I added a cute popsicle sticker in orange..

It was quite fun to make this card..Now I have to make a Christmas in July card...Thanks for stopping by my blog and I so appreciate your lovely comments...Kathy

Ice Cream Cone Card

I hosted an ice cream card swap in my ArtHaven group this month...The ladies made some delightfully, yummy looking cards and we're sending them to, Shirley, for the patients at the cancer center to use as they wish...We will be doing this with Halloween and Christmas cards, too, and I am so looking forward to doing that...

For my card I drew the ice cream cone on folded watercolor paper then used colored pencils and watercolor pencils and cut the shape out when I was done... I added lots of glitter glue on the ice cream and the drips and melty part...It gives the card some sparkle and shimmer but the camera didn't pick that up, unfortunately...I topped it off with a red, heart shaped jewel for the cherry on top...

So, that's what I have been up to and I have a couple of more cards to make for August...I'm looking forward to September when the weather will be cooler...I am not a fan of the summer heat and it has been pretty hot here lately... I would love to know what you think of my ice cream card...Thanks so much for stopping by and your comments are most appreciated...Keep cool...Kathy
