Simon Says Stamp Ice Cream Dream Summer Card

Happy Monday!  With summer almost upon us thoughts of yummy ice cream treats fill my head.  I have a little confession...  I eat like a kid (seriously), BUT I've been trying my best to incorporate some more fruits and vegetables into my diet so I have been on a major smoothie kick lately.  It's amazing what you can sneak into those things without even tasting them.  ;)  I'm thinking it would be pretty fun to stock up on some fun popsicle molds and turn my smoothies into sorbet pops!

Today's card is all about yummy treats using an adorable stamp set exclusive to Simon Says Stamp called Ice Cream Dream.  I decided it would be fun to stamp them in a circle which I achieved by lightly tracing an offset circle and drawing light spokes with my pencil to line up my images.  When I was done stamping, I just erased my lines and colored them in pinks and browns with my Copic Markers (colors linked below).

To lend a more realistic look to my icy treats I added glossy accents to portions of the treats that I thought would be "wet".  This card was so much fun to make and I find these darling images irresistible!
