Ice Cream Solves Everything

Including Another Birthday!

Harper Goes Head First is one of my favorite Stamping Bella images.  Don't you know.... "There is always room for ice cream ~ It fills in all the gaps!"

With the sentiment that is included in the package, she is perfect for a card of encouragement or a get well card. But today's card was made for one of my life long girlfriend's birthday.

To make this card I started by stamping the images and sentiment on Neenah 110# cardstock. 

{NOTE: I will say, if you are stamping this set it's a good idea to place the spoon a bit closer to the cup than I did in this card.  The distance from her leg extending to the left and the spoon to the right made it a bit difficult to fit into most of the dies.} 

I used my Copic markers for coloring the image.  When completed, I die cut the edges with the Pink & Main Scalloped Square die.  I matched a piece of 12 x 12 pink cardstock to the pink in the ice cream, then cut the cardstock in half (6" x 12") and folded one piece in half to make the card base (6" x 6").  Next I found the fun multi-colored circle patterned paper  that coordinates well with the colored image. I die cut it using the largest die in the same Pink & Main Scalloped Square set (~6").   I secured the dotted patterned  mat onto the pink card base (with the fold at the top).  Then I added the colored image, slightly tilted and secured it.  I added three domed dots at the bottom corner next and finished the card with a lavender double bow.

Thank you for stopping by today.  I enjoy sharing my work with you and invite you to “Follow” my blog and to visit my site ~ “Not Just Scraps” on Facebook ~ where you can purchase my cards.
