04/05/2017 Update: Top Three winner in the AHSC #205.
In response to a sketch challenge, I decided to use cones filled with sherbet. Yum! Okay - so it's really die cut cork and cardstock but it won't be long before we'll be looking for cold snacks.
A panel of white cardstock was die cut to add the stitching on the edges. Four strips of Washi tape were added. The cones were die cut from a cork sheet and sponged with ink. The sherbet scoops were die cut in sweet colors and popped up with Dimensionals foam tape. A coat of Perfect Pearls powder was lightly added. The sentiment was die cut and the stars and sequins were added.
Note to self: Perfect Pearls does not photograph well under bright light!
The inside of the card was lined with white die cut cardstock to match the stitching on the front panel, then a strip of Washi tape was added. Sufficient space was left on the inside to write a note.

ReplyDeleteSuch a great warm weather card Melanie. Love the stitching around the edge and those cork cones are amazing. That's a great idea. Thanks for joining us at the Watercooler Wednesday challenge, loved your card.
ReplyDeleteWow, Melanie, those Sherbet cones look good enough to eat. Love the fancy stitching around your background cardstock and that cork---brilliant idea. Using the Washi tape stripes really compliments the colours you've used in your sherbets, too, as does the die-cut sentiment. Thanks so much for joining our Watercooler Wednesday Challenge this week.
