I Scream You Scream...

It's the middle of the month and that means

A Reminder for the October CUTplorations Challenge

at STAMPlorations

I decided to go with Happy and chose

 STAMPlorations Sweet Cravings

and CUTplorations Matching Die for my focal point.

You know the old saying - 

I scream - you scream - we all scream for ice cream

A perfect Birthday Card. 

There are lots of yummies here - 

I decided to add a bit of interest with so many

party stamps and cut my card stock on an angle.

My ice cream cone was heat embossed with

Zing Brown Sugar then of course I had to add

toppings - Nuvo Drops in 

Violet Galaxy/Wisteria Purple/Pumpkin & Blue Lagoon

and you have to have sprinkles!

I let that dry and continued on adding

some stenciling from ARTplorations Square Dance

stamping from STAMPlorations Balloons & Banners

STAMPlorations Groovy Shoes

STAMPlorations Bold Sentiments

STAMPlorations Party Time

with CTMH Thistle, Memento Lulu Lavender

TH Carved Pumpkin 

and die cut CUTplorations Happy Die

So you see - so many fabulous party stamps/stencils/dies.

Hope you enjoyed licking your lips and drooling over

that yummy ice cream. It's certainly ice cream weather here in Oz.

I got out my favourite metallic paints and

inked up  STAMPlorations Large French Marigold

with shades of blue, green and yellow 

after heat embossing in white.

I then added some splatters with yellow acrylic paint.

Once that was dry I added my sentiment  

from Pocket Blooms

Finished this with 3 tiny blue hearts

and attaching to a blue background on white card stock.

This card came about after seeing this one made by

My First Posting as Guest for the CAS Challenge over at STAMPlorations.

 

I am over the moon excited to be posting here as a

Guest Designer for the CAS Challenge over at STAMPlorations.

 

 

 

 

 Pop over to our Blog for Details Here.

 

I started my card with basic grey card stock.

For my focal point I cut white card stock with a

stitched die. Then the fun part started.

The background has been stamped randomly with

stamps from Scribbly Splattery Grunge - I so love this stamp set

as you can do so much with it.

I then stamped the French Marigold on white c/s 

with Zing Charcoal  embossing powder colouring it with

metallic watercolour paints in various colours

and fussy cut.

(you can see the shimmer on my card)

I popped it for dimension and finished off with

my sentiment from Noteworthy.

 

Here are the STAMPlorations stamps I used on my card.
