A cool treat

It's another hot day here in the South. What better way to cool off than a little ice cream?

This card is based on the current Card Positioning System sketch (CPS272).  It's also for 365 Cards Challenge #129, Fun in the Sun. (When I was a kid, Popsicles were a big treat in the summer.)

The Popsicles (from Studio G) were stamped in Memento Black, colored with pencils, then coated with several layers of Alene's Paper Glaze to give them that shiny, melty look. There's some sponging around the edge of the sentiment, which is attached with a brad and a "bow" made of baker's twine.

Stay cool.

Stencils and diecuts

  I've had the idea for this card for a while, but I finally got around to making it this week.  I started by stenciling the stone fence...
