I used the ice cream cone image (from Hey Cupcake) to hand stamp, in pink, my own matching patterned paper. Instead of the usual bow or knot, I chose to make little sentiment tags to incorporate this super fun May Arts ribbon. Just simply cut a strip of cardstock, stamp the sentiment, punch a small hole, string the ribbon through, tie a knot and attach it to the card.
The cones came with an ice cream topping, but I thought it would be a fun touch to use buttons instead. What do you think?
This time the winner of the challenge will be given a stash of gorgeous and fun May Arts ribbon! So head on over to Embellish Magazine and submit your challenge creations by Thursday, February 11, 2010! I look forward to seeing what you create!

ReplyDeleteWhat a great take on the challenge colors. Your use of the cone stamp had me traveling to Schlosser Designs to check out the stamp set. This card is almost as delicious as an ice cream cone on a warm summer day.
