Sweet Moments

I took a break from my ant-i-cide and put together a card that has been floating around in my mind for a few days. After I saw this card, I remembered that I had an ice cream sundae stamp in my stash. I guess I am still feeling a bit nostalgic about my Grands, because I really wanted to create something old fashioned looking. So, I used a lot of scallops and a lot of brown. The chocolate ribbon appears darker here than it is in real life. I colored the image with Copic markers and used a gel pen for the whipped cream. The cherry gets its sparkle from Pink Stickles and the hearts are outlined with a red Copic glitter pen.




Supplies- Cardstock:Chocolate, Colonial White (CTMH). Papers:Cheeky Collection-Emery (Making Memories)Stamp:Sparkle Clear Sweet Moments (HeroArts). Ink:Pearlescent Chocolate Brilliance (Tsukineko). Ribbon:Chocolate Brown (Wrights). Color Media:Markers, glitter pen (Copic). Gelly Roll (Sakura). Other: Petite Scalloped Oval Nestabilities (Spellbinders). Scalloped Scissors (Provo Craft).

Wishing you many sweet moments...
