A Neopolitan Birthday
I have been in a total funk lately …I don’t know why. I was hoping this week’s sketch challenge over at SCS would drag me out of it, but I am just “blah.” I think this card is cute (cuter in real life), but still kind of plain.
I needed a birthday card for one of my daughter’s friends this weekend so I thought I’d use High Hopes by Lizzie Anne Designs. The cardstock that looks white here is actually vanilla, and the pink ice cream matches the patterned paper more closely than it appears. (My monitor died over the weekend so I’m using my daughter’s and all the colors look different on this screen. It’s driving me nuts.) The center stack of ice cream is cut out and raised on dimensionals. I used Copic markers to color the ice cream, then I covered all the scoops with Crystal Effects. I wanted the cherries to be shiny, but still look a little different so I covered them with a clear 3-d gel pen. The texture is just slightly different.
Thanks for stopping by! Maybe if I go have some lunch and play on the Wii (lol) I’ll feel better.
Awe! It’s very cute and looks extra yummy!
Sorry you’re feeling “blah” but this really is cute. The colors really do remind me neopolitan ice cream. This is a great birthday card for a girl!
Your card is darling! Love the hanging tag! I’ve been feeling “funky” myself lately — it’s like my mojo went on vacation! I made a card for Chris’s birthday today, but that’s the first thing I’ve stamped all week! I hope you’re feeling better soon!
OMGosh this is SO darling M. I LOOOVE the pink and brown!
Oh baby! It is darling!!! Sooo NOT in a funk! Love it
OOOOOOOH my gosh!!! This is just darling!! I LOVE The colors, paper…sooo cute! AND I do **NOT** believe this “funk” thing…you always rock no matter WHAT!
Oh this is just adorable, Michele!! I LOVE the neopolitan look of those yummy ice cream cones! Hey….I have this set…..maybe I should open it and play with it, huh?? Hahaha!! Thanks for the inspiration and I hope you feel better soon!!!
I sure wish my “funk” looked half as good as your “funk”! This is darling!
This is so sweet, love the ice creams and the saying is perfect!
Hi, Michele! I don’t know if there’s something in the cyber-air, but I’ve been in a creative funk all week, myself. I’m hoping that changes over the weekend. Nevertheless, you sure made a cute card! Such pretty colors. I could see the telltale glow of the Copics right off. Even better with the Crystal Effects!
this is awesome! Love those towers of ice cream!
Really cute! I could see the sentiment “too much of a good thing is a good thing” going nicely with these ice cream cones too!
