Hello & welcome to the Ink & Inspirations Blog Hop where our theme is ‘Pick A Season’. After a lot of too-ing and froing I have settled on Summer and have chosen to make my card using the Sweet Ice Cream stamp set and co-ordinating Ice Cream Builder Punch to make a sweet Summer Ice Creams card. Love an ice cream on a hot summer’s day.
Colours used in this project are:
To recreate the Summer ice creams card, you will need:
Pool Party card base – 8¼” by 5⅞” scored at 4⅛”
Cinnamon Cider 4⅝” by 3¼”
BW 4¾” by 3½”
BW 5½” by 3¾” – for the inside
Scrap WW, Crumb Cake & Early Espresso
Whisper White Envelope
Taking the speckled image I stamped Pool Party ink onto the upper right and lower left corners of the Pool Party card base.
Using the wider of the Water Painter Brushes I added a wash of Pool Party ink to the smaller of the Basic White panels. The panel was added to the Cinnamon Cider panel using Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive. The whole piece was added to the Pool Party card front using the same liquid glue.

I stamped the waffle bases to the ice cream cones in Cinnamon Cider ink onto the scrap Basic White card. The base was stamped in 2nd generation ink and the waffle pattern added in full strength cinnamon Cider ink. They were punched out using the Ice Cream Builder Punch.
