Doesn't everyone love ice cream bars??!! This is my first time inking up this fun stamp set from Avery Alle. I have a sweet tooth (that's an understatement!). When I was young, I loved to buy Creamsicles. They were vanilla ice cream bars coated with orange. Delicious!! These stamps reminded me of them, so I coloured them in bright, ice cream colours using my Zigs, after stamping the images in black and clear embossing. Crystal Glaze was added to the bright part of the orange and pink ice cream bars.
The background is a paper towel transfer background using the same colours, cut with a stitched, partial circle die. The bars are popped up for some added dimesion. I stamped the sentiment in black and embossed with clear so it would match the bar images.

Your ice cream bars look good enough to eat, Loll! I love how you added GA to the fun bright colors and your watercolored background is perfect! Such a great card for a child ~ Barb xx
PS: I used to love Creamsicles as a kid, too :)
Yummo Loll - this is just the sweetest card and so bright and mouthwatering. Love the shimmer you achieved here. Great placement of the popsicles (creamsicles).
Thanks for sharing your fun memories, Loll! Ice cream bars take me back to my fun summer memories too.
The clear embossing makes these ice cream bars look sooo yum! The matching color paper towel background is fun and bright. Love the simple and great design!

These ice cream bars are awesome, Loll! I love that shiny, sweet coating!
The paper towel background works perfectly with the ice cream treats - and they are wonderfully coloured and look fabulous with the Crystal Glaze. I'd like to eat one of them!
It has been lovely and sunny and warm here today, and one of these gorgeous lollies would have gone down a treat Loll. I adore the background on the partial cross stitched circle, and the glossy crystal glaze looks great. x
The GA really makes those ice cream bars look yummy, Loll.
Your card is just packed with fun and waiting for summer to arrive...love all the freshness the colours give...
