Feel Better - Try Stampin' on Tuesday #264

It was snowing today- yes snowing!! And I was feeling under the weather, thus the card I made for Try Stampin' on Tuesday.  The theme for the sketch was to be "April showers", but sad showers are showers as well.

 

On a 3 by 2 1/2" piece of Whisper White cardstock, I built some clouds using the Tree Builder punch.  One cloud is punched using Timeless Elegance DSP; the other two Basic Gray.

The lines of rain drops on the end were drawn using a ruler and a small nibbed black pen.

This piece of Whisper White was matted with Smoky Slate cardstock.

The basic card is Smoky Slate, layered with Basic Gray.  The striped DSP (retired) was added to the card front at an angle.  A piece of Marina Mist ribbon was added to the DSP and a bow tied and added to the right end.

The image piece was added to the front using tombo. I then added some Dazzling Details using a blender pen - added to the cloud outlines and the rain drops.

The sentiment is from "Sassy Salutations

Supplies:

Stamps: Sassy Salutations

Inks: Black Memento

Papers: Smoky Slate, Basic Gray, DSP (retired), Whisper White, Timeless Elegance,

Accessories: Tree Builder punch, 1/4" Marina Mist cotton ribbon, Dazzling details, blender pen, dimensionals.

Sprinkles of Life Happy Birthday

I finally had time to make a card using the Sprinkles of Life stamp set.  I had so many other things to do to get ready for tomorrow.

• Base card is Wonder Watermelon folded on top.
• The rest of the card is built on Whisper White which is the next layer.
• A piece of "Cherry on Top" DSP stack was attached at each end of this layer.
• On a separate piece of Whisper White, the ice cream cone was stamped with Tip Top Taupe and cut out.  Using a finger dauber, the same ink was used to sponge the sides and top to give the cone a 3D look.
• Three colours were used for the cone:  Bermuda Bay, Wonder Watermelon, and Delightful Dijon.  The Build a Tree punch was used to punch out the cones.  Chocolate chip ink was used to add the chocolate sprinkles on each piece of ice cream.
• The cherry was stamped with Real Red ink and punched out.
• The sentiment was stamped in Bermuda Bay at the bottom of the card.  The cone was then attached, and the cones were adhered using dimensionals.
• Before attaching this layer to the card base, a piece of 1" Watermelon Wonder scallop ribbon was attached to the left panel and tied in the middle with a piece of White Baker's Twine.
• Dazzling details was added to each layer of ice cream, and a bit on the cone.  The cherry was attached on the top with a glue dot.
