For You
Hello crafters! I am not sure if this will translate or not, you will have to tell me, but when I finished this card, all I could think of was neopolitan ice cream! The blush pink card, milk card and brown card together just made me crave ice cream! Is neopolitan ice cream uniquely American? I don't think that I have ever seen it in the UK. Let me know. Anyways, as far as the card goes, I started by embossing the pink blush card background with a new folder called Sparkle Squares. It is one of our new smaller folders (5 3/4" x 7 3/4" in size). I cut the lower edge with the Phoenix cutting edge die. I cut another piece in brown as a lower edge shadow and glued it just slightly outward from the pink one. I cut another one out of milk card and used all three of the dies in the Phoenix set this time. I added it to the top with some mounting foam. Using the Scored Lines embossing folder, I did a small strip of milk card and glued it so it was peeking out from underneath the Phoenix edge. For the focal element, I cut the Copenhagen die in milk card and in brown card. I used the brown as a shadow and slightly offset it beneath the milk diecut. I stamped my sentiment and cut it out with the smaller die in the Oslo set. I inked it with Antique Linen before removing it from the die and mounted it in the middle with foam. I added two pearl corners in the upper corners as embellishments. I paper pierced a milk mat, then added a thin blush and brown mat before adding a final milk mat. The finished dimensions are 8" x 8 1/2" in size. All for now, Sue x
