Happy Wednesday everyone! It’s Amanda from Twiddler’s Nook. Today is like my Friday since I’m on vacation the rest of the week from my day job so I’m extra chipper! I’m excited to be sharing a glittery fun birthday card with you featuring the new Make A Wish stamp and die set.
I started by playing around with the fabulous ice cream cone pieces and my dye inks. I used Lawn Fawn pizza crust for the cone which I think is perfect and then Pink & Main construction, dress shop and night sky. I stamped the detail layer with watermark & embossing ink and heat embossed them with icicle embossing powder. Isn’t the sparkly tops on the ice cream cones so fun!?! Next, I used EZ Squeeze liquid glue to adhere the ice cream to the cones and set them aside.
For my background panel, I chose the next-to-largest Wide Stitched Arches die and cut it from river walk cardstock. I splattered it with pearl watercolor and let it dry. Knowing the main colors I was working with, I went digging in my patterned paper and chose the light pink stripes from the year round dots & stripes paper pad for my card front.
After adhering the pink background to a card base, I popped the wide arch panel up with foam tape. Then I added the ice cream cones with foam squares. *Note that I added double foam squares where they hang over the arches so they still lay nice and flat.*
Finally I stamped a sentiment from the Make A Wish stamp set with lakeside ink and die cut it out. Next, I added Touch of Gloss to the flame and sprinkled lemonade super fine glitter on it to give the candle flame a little extra. Once that was dry, I added foam squares to the back and popped it up on the ice cream cones.
