Happy Saturday, peeps! It's going to be another rainy weekend here in PA....I am beginning to feel like a mushroom, although we did have a couple of nice days during the week...I just wish the weekends would get the message! I have a fun little card today for three challenges: Festive Friday is looking for stripes; Time Out wants playful, and CAS Watercolour wants a card for a child:
This tower of ice cream cones has always been one of my favorites, especially for children; I stamped it on some SU watercolor paper and colored it with various yummy ice cream shades, then coated it with some Wink of Stella and fussy-cut it out, mounting it on another piece of watercolor paper I painted with Balmy Blue ink:
As much as I like ice cream (make that LOVE ice cream!), I think this much would probably give me a tummyache! I mounted my panel on a striped piece of DSP, added a few sequins:
and finished it off with a sentiment from the retired set, Sweet Stuff, coloring those itty-bitty letters with some matching ink as well; I die-cut it with a tag punch, added some baker's twine (more stripes), and it's good to go:
Thanks for popping in today---YOU'RE sweet!!
Cassidy has been wearing shorts and a t-shirt lately; I was surprised when came yesterday morning wearing a Yoda hoodie!! You can never tell with this girl!

Love this over-the-top ice cream cone LeAnne - it looks delicious! - and your watercolouring is just perfect! The sentiment tag is a cute touch too. How funny that Cassidy is wearing her yoda hoodie on Star Wars Day (May 4th) - May the fourth/force be with you today my friend!!
ReplyDeleteYour card really is sweet! So is your Yoda girl. Have a blessed weekend, even though rainy.
ReplyDeleteSuper cute & how much fun was it to colored all those scoops of ice cream!? Love the mix of challenges! Cute pictures of Miss Cassidy, too! Cute hoodie! Have a great day and I share your feelings about the rain! Ughh!
ReplyDeleteWhat a wonderful ice cream cone. Luke & Jack would love to be able to get all those flavors! Wonderful job of watercolor, my friend! Thanks for sharing with us at CAS Watercolour!
ReplyDeleteI love this "sweet" card! Wow, good job on the three challenges too! I love the Yoda hoodie! We are having beautiful weather here where I live in Oregon. Hoping for a little rain for the crops though.
ReplyDeleteI agree, that much ice cream might give you a tummyache, but it sure looks yummy. Love your card. Have a blessed weekend.
ReplyDeleteSweet card, LeAnne! :) Couldn't resist! :) Love this towering ice cream cone over top of the pretty blue watercolour wash. Adorable and perfect for a child of any age! Love the way you've used the same colours for your sentiment tag. The striped paper is so fun! Great design! Thanks for sharing with us at CAS Watercolour! xx
ReplyDeleteThese tiny little scoops? Oh we could handle those, girlfriend! Just absolutely delish!
ReplyDelete=]
That's one heck of an ice cream cone! I'll take two, please. Your stripes remind me of an ice cream shop. Gee, there's one practically just around the corner. Don't get me started! Very cute card, LeAnne!
ReplyDeleteThis is so cute, love the colorful scoops all stacked up! May the force be with Cassidy ;)
ReplyDeleteFunny how kids never feel the cold! Its Autumn here in New Zealand and even though it has been warmer than usual some days, others have been freezing but still my kids won't give up their shorts. I on the other hand am rugged up to the hilt!! I don't know any child that wouldn't want an ice-cream this big (me included) and the soft watercolouring goes with it perfectly. Really like how the sentiment colours match the ice-cream too. So very glad you shared this with us at TIME OUT!
ReplyDeletemmmm this makes me want to eat ice scream! :) Love the pastel shades you chose for your coloring and the watercolor background looks amazing, gives a dun artsy touch to your card. Thanks for joining us at Time Out!
ReplyDeleteNow that is my kind of ice cream cone! An Octo-Scoop! I just love the bright and cheery colors you used. Thanks so much for joining us this week over at Festive Friday!
ReplyDeleteI'm so with Anne Marie on this one! The more scoops the better! And all those lovely flavors to choose from. I guess that's why you scoop it out instead of just eating from the pint - more flavors at once!
ReplyDeleteI just love this card - it's so bright and cheerful. Thanks for playing with Festive Friday :D
Cutest ice cream cone ever LeAnne! I love it! I also love your water coloring in the background. Just a darling card! Thanks for joining us again at Festive Friday!
