Sweet Ice Cream

Hello everyone! Thanks BUNCHES for stopping by today! WOW....it's Wednesday already!  I had a class this morning and I have another class this evening, but I quickly want to share a FUN and EASY birthday card I made recently!  It's one of the cards we're making in my January classes.

My card base is Basic White and measures 5 1/2" x 8 1/2".

Layer One is Blackberry Bliss and measures 2 3/4" x 2 3/4".  The cone is stamped onto the second to the largest square Stitched Shapes framelits in Cinnamon Cider ink. The cone texture is stamped in Early Espresso ink. The scoop of ice cream is stamped in Blackberry Bliss ink (inking it up and stamping it off once before stamping). The sprinkles and sentiment are both stamped in Blackberry Bliss ink.  The ice cream scoop is attached above the cone with Stampin' Dimensionals.  The layered square is attached to the card base with Stampin' Dimensionals as well!

Isn't this a fun and simple birthday card to make?  I just LOVE it! I hope you'll give it a try! What flavor of ice cream will you choose?
