It’s Thursday again and time for a Create with Connie and Mary challenge! We have a very unique sketch for you to try this week!

SWEET ICE CREAM
The first thought I had when seeing this sketch is that a giant ice cream cone would work perfectly down the center! I had room for FOUR scoops of ice cream with the cone!

Stampin’ Details:
- The base is 4-1/4 x 11 Thick Basic White cardstock, scored at 5-1/2 and folded.
- A 4 x 5-1/4 layer of Soft Sea Foam was added to the top.
- Three 1-1/4 x 3-3/4 strips of Ice Cream Corner Designer Paper were added to the background.
- A 2-1/4 x 5-1/4 piece of Basic White cardstock was stamped with the greeting along the bottom in Memento Black Ink, then embossed with the Old World Paper Embossing Folder.
- The cone was punched from Cinnamon Cider cardstock and stamped with the criss-cross image in Cinnamon Cider Ink.
- The scoops were stamped with stamped off Highland Heather, Daffodil Delight, Flirty Flamingo and Soft Sea Foam Inks on Basic White cardstock, Early Espresso “chips” stamped on top, then punched with the Ice Cream Cone Builder Punch.
- All were layered on the front with Stampin’ Dimensionals.
- A piece of White Baker’s Twine was tied in a bow and added to the cone with a Mini Glue Dot.
- An Opal Round was added to the top ice cream scoop for a little bling.

So fun coming up with this design using the sketch challenge! OK, make sure to check out what the rest of the Challenge Team did this week with the color challenge over on Create with Connie and Mary!
