Here are a couple of cards I created using the new What's the Scoop    set....

 

 

Card # 2...

 

 

and the adorable stamp set...

 

 

I used a dimensional glaze for my second card to give my vanilla cone a little shine.  And the ice cream scoop (card number 1) got a dose of stickles...   Both images were fussy cut and hand pieced.  I think it adds so much depth!  I even added a bit of glaze to the cherry!  I just love this set!  I will be using this one a great deal this summer...  ice cream socials...  picnic invites...  birthdays....  thank you cards...  WHEW!!!  You can get a great deal of mileage out of these!  Thanks for stopping by...  Don't forget to check out my sister Coasters and their great creations AND make sure to leave a comment at each stop to be in our drawing!!!  ;-)

Cathedral Window - Marble

 

 

Cathedral Window and Border Dies

 

I stamped the image on Copic compatible paper and colored each panel to resemble stained glass.  I hand cut the final image out and added a bit of Glossy Accents dimensional glue to mimic glass.  I then cut my die out using black card stock for both a base and window trim.  I cut another window, cutting out a section of three "panes" and backed it with black card stock to create my window box.  The base is white card stock, embossed with a brick EF and lightly distressed with gray ink to mimic old mortar.  Dies and punches create the remaining vine, flowers and greenery.  Thanks for stopping in! 

 

From here you will hop to visit the ever sweet and delightful Sabrina's blog . 

 

Thanks for stopping by!  Hugs!
