Mint Chocolate Chip Bear

Happy Friday! Im back today to share with you another image Kim was so sweet to send me. I was so excited to see this adorable bear image. I knew I would have fun coloring his different flavors of ice cream. Wouldnt this ice cream cone be yummy??!LOL! Well not so much for me because Im not a big fan of mint chocolate chip ice cream but I just couldnt resist coloring it like that. Ive had some retired SU mint melody cs Ive been hoardin for awhile and thought it would be the perfect time to pull it out. I used Julees mojo sketch for my layout and look no dp! Shocker I know!LOL! I used the candy cane stripe embossing folder for the choc chip layer. I also added some PTI hibiscus burst and paper pierced it but dont look too closely to it!LOL! I couldnt decide what sentiment I wanted to use and then I saw this weeks Stamp Something Happy challenge and knew this Happy summer sentiment was perfect. I mean what says summer more than melting ice cream cones and who isnt happy with ice cream around!?!LOL!! BTW the mint brads were some white brads I sanded and then colored with yg41 to match my mint cs-gotta love copics! Have a great one!

Seas the Day

I really hope you all are having some gorgeous weather like we have been having this week. Its been so nice! We have stayed in the pool all week! Since I've been enjoying this lovely weather and getting ready to go to the beach this weekend I thought I would share a card with you using an adorable Sugarplum. This image is waving Emma. Isnt she a cutie??! She was in last years ATS summer release. I wanted to combine a couple of challenges for this card so I went looking for a sketch and color challenge. This weeks color throwdown is cool carribean, pumpkin pie, and so saffron. Emma is colored up using copics her hair is colored with y21, y26, yr24, and e25. I had to give her a little tan so for her skin I used e00, e11, and e13. For pumpkin pie I used yr15, yr16, and yr18 and for cool carribean I used bg10, 11, 13, and 15. I added some sand using e31 and e33 then made some dots using e33, e35, and e37. For my layout I used Jens sfytt . I had alot of fun with this one. I pulled out some (very dusty) polka dots pallette of prints in saffron and pumpkin pie. Its really hard to tell in the pic but the pumpkie pie layer under the nestie is embossed with the large polka dots SU plate. I even used a wave border punch I took from Mamas recently. Shopping at Mamas is the most fun!LOL!! J/K Mama! Okay thats it for me today off to go jump in the pool now! Have a great one!
