Happy Monday and welcome to the Bitten by the Bug 2 monthly blog hop! This week we are celebrating summer with fabulous ice cream cones. If you are following the BBTB2 blog hop you arrived here from the amazing Maria’s blog. If you have not been following the blog hop, please consider doing so when you leave my blog.
I ended up working a bit extra on this week’s challenge. I began by making the large card above while I was at the lake last week. At the time I was not truly happy with the card so I decided to try again with the smaller card. However after I arrived home, I attacked the chocolate topping and the phrase “frosty fun” with glossy accents and I realized that I loved the look of the chocolate topping!
I cut the ice cream and the cone from Bazzill embossed cardstock. I love the patterns of this cardstock. I used a brown micro tipped pen and doodled on the embossed patterns – adding a dot to the middle of the flowers on the pink ice cream, and tracing the edges of the pattern on the brown. I loved this look.
The chocolate layer flips up and to reveal the ice cream layer. You could add another stamp, a charm or a hand written not here. The ice cream also flips up to reveal a white inner layer, where I stamped the phrase “Happy Birthday.”
