Hello Sweet Friend

This card is my submission to The Paper Players Theme Challenge #250. The theme is clean and simple (CAS) "Summer Treats."

The image "Poppy Sundae" was downloaded from A Day for Daisies onto white cardstock and colored with Spectrum Noir alcohol markers. Clear Wink of Stella was added to the glass dish and cherry then finished with Glossy Accents. By clicking on the close-up photo, one can see the sparkle mimics an icy dish. Sequins were added. 
Dies were used to cut the ovals. The sentiment is computer generated using the Harrington font. It was popped up with foam tape. The inside was lined with a panel of white cardstock and strips of matching cardstock and DSP.
