Just For You--PP 297 and FMS238

May 29, 2016

HAPPY MEMORIAL DAY weekend!  I hope we all stop and remember the sacrifices made by so many for all of us to enjoy freedom in the United States!  

It's Sunday and time for a new challenge at The Paper Players!  

My dear friend JoAnne, from across the pond is the hostess this week.  She has a FUN Tic-Tac-Toe board for us to play along with.  There are so many possibilities and we can't wait to see what you create.  




I am also playing along with the sketch from Freshly Made Sketches!  I love this challenge and rarely get to join them.  I am so happy it worked out this week to combine my card for both challenges. 



My card is created on a white card base.  The Large Polka Dot embossing folder was used on a piece of Lucky Limeade card stock.   I love this color!  It is a retired color from Stampin' Up! that I hoarded.  I thought it was perfect for my background.  I used the Clearly Besotted Super Cool stamp set and Dies to create the ice cream cones.  I stamped the cone in Baked Brown Sugar and the ice cream in Lucky Limeade and Real Red.  The sentiment was stamped in black Versa Fine ink and heat embossed with clear embossing powder.  I also used a circle die to cut a Real Red circle and embossed it with the Decorative Dots embossing folder by Stampin' Up!   


 Wink of Stella was added to the ice cream for sparkle and shine.  White enamel dots were added for fun.  My card uses the diagonal on the board--embossing, die cuts and birthday!  



So happy you stopped by my blog today!  Please leave a message!  I love to hear from you!  

Don't forget to check out the fabulous inspirations from our design team and I hope that you will play along with our challenge this week.
