Faux Stitching with Ice Cream Card

Hello friends!

Is summer getting hot hot hot for you? 

I am popping to to share a COOL card with this Plush Ice Cream Cone Wafer Die.

Since it is lazy summer here, I opted for the lazy route for my ice cream concoction.
I managed to create a stitched look without all the work! That pretty much is saying that I enjoyed the ice cream without adding the calories....well, it's not quite exactly the same, but you get the idea.



I totally took advantage of the sprays and made my own colorful paper. I LOVE how the "melting" on the ice cream cone. When I sprayed the colors (using Heidi Swapp and TH Distress Stain Sprays, see links below), I thought I made a mess with the colors!! After examining it for a while, I realized that I can turn it into something beautiful...



As for the faux stitching? I used Gold and White Pico Embellisher to connect the dots. You can definitely use white Gel Pen for this task.



My white gel pens were all dried up and I actually was glad that I used Pico Embellisher.
To me, this ice cream cone consists of the following flavors: Lemon/Peach and Mint. YUM! I hope that I would come up with more "flavors" soon again.

Working with Layered Dies

Hello friends! 

I am back to share my project on using layering dies. 

Previously, I made a set of cards with this special dies. You can see them here.

Layered Scene Die (Penny Black)  


The beauty of the dies is that however you color them, they will all turn out great. The fine details on the leaves and flowers really make everything NICE!

 

This time, I colored them with Spectrum Aqua Markers and layered them. 
These dies are truly intricate and unique.

Using Small Stamps for One Layer

Hello friends!
 I have the pleasure of taking photographs of the peonies from my yard the other day.
Here are the gorgeous peonies in full bloom.


 And of course, I have to share a peony card, too.

I have been enjoying this Altenew Stamp Peony Bouquet set so much 

and every time I used it, I tend to pick the large flower in this set. However, I noticed all the smaller stamps in this set are just lovely as they have fine and ornate details. 

I adore this type of stamping: free style---->my way!

 I kept it nearly one layer except that I popped up the sentiment with some dimensions. I also added my favorite things--strings and sequins. Well, that's it today.

Happy Saturday!
