You Make Life Sweet

Hello, I am so happy you’ve stopped by today!

I don’t know about you, but I love ice cream, and today’s card features the delicious Sugar Rush stamp set from Paper Smooches!  My card was partially inspired by this creation by the fabulous Kay Miller… be sure to stop by her blog to check it out!

To create my background, I did some ink smooshing using Spun Sugar distress ink, for a soft pink watercolored backdrop to my ice cream. I also mixed some Spun Sugar ink with some translucent texture paste and applied it onto my card base using the Tiny Hearts stencil from Simon Says Stamp.

My images are stamped in Memento ink and colored with Copic markers. Some Wink of Stella and Glossy Accents add some sparkle and shine to the ice cream and cherries. I then attached the fussy cut images onto my watercolor panel, along with some sequins from Pretty Pink Posh to create a “sprinkle” effect.

I love how the card turned out, and I’d love to hear what you think too! Thanks so much for stopping by, and be sure to leave some love over on Kay’s blog as well! :)
