Hello Stampers!  I made this card for the Free 4 All challenge on Splitcoaststampers: Let's Chill.  I chose to use an ice cream cone as an example of a way to cool down in the summer.  I wanted to create a twist cone, but I couldn't find a nice shade of brown with my Copic markers.  So I got out my colored pencils and I was able to find the colors I was looking for.  I colored my image with colored pencils and blended them with Gamsol.  Then it was a matter of figuring out the layers.  I started by die cutting the ice cream cone, and matting it was a vellum layer.  Then found a patterned paper and matted it with Bermuda Bay and adhered this to my card base.  To finish the card I die cut and adhered the word celebrate, and added a twine bow.

Thanks so much for stopping by!
