It's hot hot hot here today and right now I could definitely devour an ice cream. I am trying to be good and eat healthily though so instead I have been busy crafting some with the refreshingly cool Better With Ice Cream stamp set from Visible Image. Just perfect for guilt free summer crafting!
I began this card by creating a background with Distress Oxide inks, applying them to my craft mat, spritzing with water and dabbing my watercolour card stock into it.
I then took co ordinating Distress Glaze powders and embossed splats from the Ink Splats stamp set. This is such a useful stamp for the stash and works so well with the ice creams to add a melting drippy feel.
The brilliant Broken Mesh layering die reminds me of a waffle cone, so I just had to include that. Once die cut I painted it in watercolour.
I stamped, coloured and fussy cut three ice creams ( guilt free calories remember haha!) , and adhered them over the mesh back ground using 3D glue gel to add dimension.
Some stickles made the perfect drippy sauce. Yum!
And of course no whippy ice cream is complete without a flake! Deliciously good!
This was so much fun to make. I can't wait to serve up some more inspiration with it soon. In the meantime why not pop across to the Visible Image socials and hit follow for plenty more inspiration from my talented design team mates. They have all been very busy lately and there is so much to see.
Fabulous card Lynda, and love the VI stamps, colours and your designing of this icecream... looks yum xx
