Welcome to 2017!
Hope you are ready for another challenge at Less is More. Our first challenge of the new year is super fun, with the theme: Ombre! Lot's of opportunity for creativity here.
Here's what I came up with. Swing on by to see what the team has come up with. We are looking forward to seeing what beautiful creations you have come up with.
Okay, really nothing better than ice cream! I started by adding some distress ink to some watercolor paper (I thought this might look a bit better on a non-bright white cardstock), then using my die cut to cut out the ice cream. I then cut the cones from some kraft cardstock.
Then decided I like the inlaid die technique for easy mailing. Once I put my puzzle together, I stamped the sentiment.
Here's a close up of the card. While you can't really tell that it is inlaid in this photo, you can tell there is no dimension :)!
Can't wait to see what you come up with!
I've also decided to play along at CASology this week. Their theme is Cold...which I think this card captures the theme. What do you think?

This is beautifully inlaid and the ink shading across the ice creams is so effective! I just wish that it was warm enough to eat one! Your card is really clever, Susan :)
ReplyDeleteLove it.
ReplyDeleteLove the inlaid die makes for a neat card. Northern California? Oh, you are going to have a wet winter better stay indoors and craft. Happy New Year
ReplyDeleteWhat a gorgeous rainbow of ice cream cones Susan. A super clever and striking use of ombre and love all the inlaid die-cutting. Neat, clever and scrumptious. Sarah x

Can't resist a rainbow ... and your fresh sorbet colours look delicious. Thanks for joining the CASology challenge this week.
ReplyDeleteWhat a fabulous card, love the colouring of the ice creams.
ReplyDeleteNothing nicer on the days we are having here at the moment. Tomorrow they are forecasting in the 40s thats 40c too hot for ice cream actually and I will be driving from state to state.
Hey Susan! Your ice cream cones are so pretty. Your card is so refreshing. Thank you so much for playing with us this week at CASology.

ReplyDeleteThe colours on your card inspired me to do my card for this challenge as they're beautiful! Really awesome card you made.
ReplyDeleteA sensational card Susan! Love the rainbow ombre - such a wonderful use of the technique and those ices look good enough to eat. Really love how you used the inlaid die technique too. xx
ReplyDeleteWonderful work with your inlaid die cuts, Susan and that blend of colours is beautiful. You've got me looking forward to summer now, especially now that we have snow in the UK...brrrr xx
ReplyDeleteClever! This would have never come to mind for me...especially in the weather we are having right now, brrrr...but the design looks fab!
