Ice Cream Time with My Sheri & Jellypark ... and MORE!

I've been so lucky these past few weeks to have won some prizes with my challenge cards. For example, I won this fabulous Ice Cream Truck digi from Jellypark via Fetch-a-Sketch Challenge 25:

This was so much fun to color! My husband surprised me on Saturday with a mini shopping spree at Michaels! ... Happily, they had restocked their Copics so we chose some fun new colors, including W1, my first from their "Warm Gray" series. Wow, it's awesome! Later in the day, he went over to his buddy's house to play Civilization (a computer game) and I stayed home and made this card. While I was coloring the image, I sent him a few photos of its progress; I am so glad he married me ha ha!

I cut the ice cream cone out with the Doodlecharms Cricut cartridge, added some shading with Copics, and sprayed it with Iridescent Gold glimmer mist from Tattered Angels.

The Sentiment is from the Sweet Treat stamp collection by Beth Gunnell for Quick Cards Made Easy. The daisy background is from Outlines Rubber Stamps, and I heat-embossed it in Kaleidoscope. The "snowball" wired ribbon is from Michaels; I used Copics to make them little balls of ice cream!

You might be wondering why I chose green for my main ice cream color; well, it's because it represent 3 of my most favorite flavors: Mint, Pistachio, and Daiquiri Ice!

I've admired the sketches at The Hybrid Chick for some time, but I haven't really had a chance to participate. I do like doing digital paper piecing and design, so I think making "hybrid" cards is right up my alley! Plus, they offer the sketch as a PSD (editable PhotoShop document) complete with layers, so it's almost too easy to participate!

I used the awesome Peter Rabbit CD-Rom from Crafter's Companion. It comes with a nice program as well, but for this I just pulled the files into PhotoShop. I'm hoping this is eligible for the Crafter's Companion April Challenge as I didn't use a physical stamp...I didn't think of it until after I made the card, but I did make it for the challenge. If you know me, you know that sometimes I get carried away!

This card is all digital, except for the ribbon; the ovals and sentiment are popped up on the card with foam tape (see side view below). I printed the base piece onto white linen cardstock. I got to play with the Drop Shadow effect too, which is always fun!

Here's another view of the card, where you can better see the popped-up elements.
