Ice Cream Bouquet

Hello!  Today I'm sharing a card created using the Sweetness Digital Stamp Set by Graciellie Designs.  It's a lovely digi set with 1 focal image and 5 sentiments.  I created this card for a June Card Swap partner and it measures A2 (4.25" x 5.5").

For the background, I used a stencil and Ranger Stickles Glitter Gel in the Gold to create the very shiny and glittery pattern. The Gel has itty bitty stars and lots of glitter; it's actually very stunning.  I'm a huge fan of Stickles so this Gel was right up my alley.

I colored the image with Spectrum Noir Alcohol Markers and die cut the image with a scalloped oval die.  The sentiment is one that's included in the set, which I simply cut as a rectangle.  The image and the sentiment are mounted on foam tape for a bit of dimension.  Finally, I added some Card Candy for a finishing touch.  

The hardest part of this card was applying the Stickles Gel consistently as I tend to be heavy handed when applying anything through a stencil.  The background is so sparkly and the picture really doesn't do it justice.  

Until Next Time, Happy Crafting!
