Eat Cake w/Poppy Stamps

There's a FUN new challenge for the Month of June over at Poppy Stamps with the theme of "Take the Cake"; and as we all know, cake (even Birthday cake) is always better with Ice Cream.  Right?  While I do own several products from Poppy Stamps, I don't own the birthday cake die.  So, as always, I worked with what I do have.

I used a black cardstock base and then used white cardstock that I rubbed with Spun Sugar, Kitsch, and Ripe Raspberry Oxide Inks.  I used the Scalloped Stitched Frames Dies to cut the sweet frame for this card.  Next, I used the Heart Stencil and some Heavy Gesso to create the background which I sprinkled with chunky pink glitter.  The sentiment is from Paper Sweeties.

Underneath the sentiment strip, I bundled up some Metallic White Iridescent String.  The next thing I did was to cut the delicious Ice Cream cones using the Whittle Ice Cream Die.  On the tops (scoops) I used pressure embossed paper, and on the bottoms (cones) I used cork paper.  It's really a fairly simple card.

There are lots of fun stamps, dies and products over at Poppy Stamps.  I hope you'll create a delicious cake, ice cream, etc. card and come play along in this fun challenge.  Thanks so much for stopping by my blog today.  I appreciate you so much.

Blessings,

Karen
