National Ice Cream Day Card

It's National Ice Cream Day (Sunday) and cause to celebrate! I will look for any excuse to eat ice cream, haha. There's also a flash sale going on at Colorado Craft Company but it ends today (July 16th) at 10 am eastern time. If you catch this post in time, use coupon code B1G1SALE to buy one and get a second item of equal or lesser value free. The Furry Friends release is excluded. They've also reduced the shipping rates! You can do this multiple times as well but in separate orders.

It's been so hot where we live and I wanted to create a summer breeze feel to this card, reminiscent of colors at the beach; sea green waters, blue skies, and ice cream to beat the heat!

This is a mini slimline card that measures approximately 6 x 3.75 inches.  I began by stamping my image on white cardstock using my Misti stamp positioner. Leaving everything in place, I then laid down some of my wide mint tape and stamped on top of it, fussy cut around the edges.




When stamping my image, I wanted a softer look than black ink so I turned to my favorite hybrid ink from Scrapbook.com, called Leather. Hybrid inks are excellent for coloring with Copic Markers, which is what I've done with my ice cream image.

After coloring, I placed my fussy cut mint tape on top of my cone, then ink blended all around my image. I tried the new blending brushes from Scrapbookcom and love them! They blended so seamless and effortlessly. I also used Catherine Pooler Inks, starting at the bottom and working my way to the top. 

Here's my order of inks:

Oh Boy (top)

Cummerbund

Aquatini

Sea Glass

Bay Breeze (bottom)


I don't have the coordinating die set for the ice cream cone, but it's available on the CCC site here, if you'd like to use that towards your BIGI offer. 


I also splattered some heavy acrylic white paint and added a pop of patterned paper from the Catherine Pooler paper pack, Daily Grind. 



Whoopsy, almost forgot to mention the sentiment that comes with the stamp set. There are several but I chose the one above and heat embossed it on black cardstock.

I hope you find time for ice cream today and I hope you enjoyed my yummy inspiration. If you'd like to shop for any of the products that I used, I have convenient affiliate links provided at no additional cost to you. I appreciate it so much when you shop through these links! Have a great day!
