Rainbow Ice Cream...

What's the point of havin' a rapier wit if I can't use it to stab people? -Jeph JacquesThis week's Woodware USA Challenge is to use your favorite technique. If I have a technique in stamping it would be Coloring with Copics...is that a technique? I always think of Batiking or Bleach Stamping or Heat Embossing as a Technique...but I don't do those things, so I guess coloring is the best I've got! ;)

I used the Birthday Fun set and made a yummy bowl of delicious Pistachio, Strawberry and Chocolate Ice Cream! Mmmmm, summer time treat! The polka dot paper is the last of the last 8x8 sheet I had of this delicious green polka dot paper, I added a scalloped piece of felt to extend the green below the image to match the sketch from 2 Sketches 4 You...

A small scrap of the larger scrap of my Favorite Christmas paper ever, Good Cheer by October Afternoon (I am hoarding it so badly!!!) went on the inside, cut with my new MFT Dienamics Small Scallop Border...
