Hi, crafty friends. There’s an IG hop today to celebrate the launch of the Streamside Studios website. Shawne’s been selling her photopolymer and digi stamps on Etsy for a while now, but now she has her own website (she has embellishments, just sayin’), and we’re celebrating with an instagram hop.

I’ve made a cool card (pun intended) with the Ice Cream Critters stamp set. I chose three of the popsicles in the stamp set and colored them with my Copics before fussy cutting them, leaving a thin white border.

Using the Watercolor Wash Free Form stencil from My Favorite Things along with Icy Water and Frayed Leaf inks from Altenew, I did some very soft ink blending to create a little bit of interest to my background. I then ran the panel through my printer to add the sentiment, chopped off a little on each side of the panel and mounted it onto a top fold card base I created from Stamper’s Select White cardstock from Papertrey Ink.

I put foam tape on the back of each of my popsicles and adhered them above the sentiment.

I finished off the card with pearls, crystals and dew drops from the Fresh Mint mix from Little Things from Lucy’s Cards.

Soft color palette for this one.
