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.
