BUBBLE WRAP IT!

It's a new week so that means it is time to choose a new bundle to feature for the week.

It is summer and I am in the mood for ice cream, so let's use the Ice Cream Swirl Bundle this week.  July is the perfect time for Ice Cream, right?


Today we are enjoying a dish of Strawberry Swirl Ice Cream.  Does it look tasty?

The background was made by inking bubble wrap with Pretty in Pink ink and then using the bubble wrap as a stamp to create the background.

In my Learning with Friends Video a few weeks ago, I showed how to do this.  If you missed the video you can watch the replay below.


The video shows you how to make the background using bubble wrap as well as a couple of other fun backgrounds using other interesting items from around the house.


The swirl on our dish of ice cream was die cut from Pretty in Pink Glimmer Paper which provides lots of pretty sparkle.  A light amount of shading was added with the SU1000 Natural Tones Stampin' Blends below the stamped swirls on the ice cream.

To make our ice cream bowl two Deckled Circle dies were used to cut partial circles from Smokey Slate cardstock.  After die cutting, the circles were embossed with the Eyelet Trim embossing folder, and then the larger circle was adhered over the smaller one to create the bowl.


The strawberries were colored with Real Red Stampin' Blends and the Color Lifter was used to add highlights.

For all the details to make today's card you can use this link to download a free tutorial.


A strip of cardstock stamped with inked Bubble Wrap was added to the inside of the card to provide some color and design continuity with the card front.  An extra strawberry was also added for a pop of color.
