a gLooMy dAy tReaT...

Life has been crazily busy recently; work deadlines, house move, routine changes and others. Hence, my stick n' stuck had suffered slightly. Sorry, everyone. Hopefully, this newbie is a sufficient peace offering. :)

My card this week is 'ice cream parfait'. Weather in UK had been so crappy recently, that I had not seen much of Mr Sunshine. So, I decided to have a really colorful little treat, and desserts always bring a smile to me. Hope the treat will warm you up, despite the cold weather we are in now.

A cream A6 card with a stuck-on colourful stripy 'Twirl' card stock (by WMRK) formed the card base. A specially selected ice cream treat was inked (from Woodware stamps 'Ice Cream Parfait') and pencil-coloured on scalloped white card. The card was then distressed with Distress Ink 'Old Paper' to give a vintage look. The birthday wish was inked in Memento 'Tuxedo Black' and embossed for a shiny finish. The ice cream and birthday wish were then assembled and accessorised with Anita's gemstones, a raised cherry and cocktail umbrella. This was finished with light mint velvet scalloped ribbon, topped with silver glitters.

Isn't this just delicious? A treat for the gloomy day... :)
