We're celebrating weird holidays with My Creative Time today. Did you know that July 16th is National Ice Cream Day? I thought it would be fun to make an ice-cream birthday card for a friend who has a birthday on that same date! I was able to make a super tall ice cream treat by making this card the size to fit in a business sized envelope: 9 1/4 x 4". My striped layer is 9 1/4 x 3 3/4", and I made those stripes with a stencil from the Papertrey ink Market Street Kit and Tim Holtz Distress Ink in Squeezed Lemonade.
To make my ice cream cone, I die cut all of the pieces from Strathmore Watercolor paper, using dies from My Creative Time's You Make Life Sweet. I then watercolored them with a paintbrush, picking up colors from my Zig Clean Color Real Brush Pens, that I scribbled onto a craft mat. "Happy birthday" was made with the MCT Happy Everything set. I then finished off the card with some Pretty Pink Posh sequins.
