Hope your Birthday is sweet!

This card is for my sister-in-law whose birthday is tomorrow, but she just happens to be in Paris.  Don’t you just feel so terrible for her?!  Anyway, I hope when she gets back and opens this card it will bring a smile to her face even though she is home.

 

I was looking through a magazine in WalMart the other day and it gave me the idea for the sno-cone on this card (which I think turned out adorable!).  It was very simple to do.  I used my Gypsy to size a circle and a triangle (from George and Basic Shapes) to the right size to make it look like a sno-cone.  Once cut, I made a light pencil line on the circle indicating where I wanted my ‘ice’ to start.  To create my ‘ice’ I coated the top part of the circle with glossy accents and sprinkled it with crystal glitter.  While letting that dry I tried to make the cone look more like a true sno-cone by hand cutting a piece of the same colored cardstock to make it look wrapped.  Then I rolled up a scrap piece of printer paper to put at the top of the cone to mimic the rolled edge sno-cone has.  I inked it to match the cone.  Once the ‘ice’ was dry I used different color ink pads to create all of the syrup colors and added another layer of glossy accents and Crystal glitter.  While the last layer was drying I created my card, using the directions for the joy fold card from Splitcoaststampers.  I chose to add the word sweet from the Paisley cart and cut the base, blackout and shadow blackout images, assembled the cuts and added some stickles.  I popped it up so the card would open easier.  That’s it!  Hope you like it J!
