This is a pretty simple card, but lots of fun to make. I used a "sweet treats" die set to create my ice cream cone. I used the same die to cut both scoops of ice cream, but hand-cut some of it off each side for the upper scoop.
The background paper is very subtley printed with slightly darker blue dots, but I thought it needed something more. I added a few tiny red stars, reflecting the stars in the die-cut sentiment.
I did a little inking on the ice cream and the cone. The hatch-marking on the bottom of the cone is a separate layer that is adhered to the base.
I still had a few stars left over, so I added them around the stamped sentiment on the inside.
It seems I just can't make kids' cards fast enough for the thrift store. They sell so quickly there. I think maybe I need to invest in some more "kid-friendly" stickers to make the process a bit faster.
Thanks so much for stopping by, and remember to laugh--a little or a lot--every day.

Yummy card! Who doesn't like ice cream. Some kid will really enjoy this one. I like that die cut with the star accents on it.
So cute! You are making me hungry for ice cream now!
What a great card - love the ice cream scoops - they look so life like.
