Hi All!
I’m so happy to report that Courtney is feeling much better. Her fever has been hovering around 100. She has also spent chunks of time at a normal temperature. So, I think she is finally on the mend. Thank you again for all your comments and support. 🙂
For today’s card, I kept the background simple to draw focus to my ice cream sundae. I created some chocolate syrup and sprinkles for the top. Here is a close-up:
I used the Simon Says Stamp Ice Cream die set for the scoops and the bowl. I originally was going to do an ice cream cone on this card but ended up creating a lunch note with it instead:
In the video, I added a section at the end where I show you how to color the cone to look like a wafer, so be sure to watch till the end!
Enjoy and have a great weekend!

WOW!! What wonderful cards! Of course my favorite is the chocolate sundae….I am a chocoholic after all. Love the sprinkles with the glossy accents. Brilliant!
Hope Courtney is feeling better today.

Loved that you used the colorless blender to create the waffle cone look! I wouldn’t have thought to do that and would’ve probably drawn it in with a brown marker.

Here I am again, first up. It’s the end of our Friday Down Under and a nice way to end the day. I have a cone and ice cream die and keep forgetting to use it. Now I have no excuses. Thanks so much for doing all the hard work for me so I can create a really cute card. I just loved both of your cards so much!

Awesome summer card! Nice tip for the waffle cone look. The chocolate syrup on top is so cool! Glad to hear epic Courtney is doing better.
Natasa
Love it! The ice-cream scoops look great!

So glad to hear Courtney is starting to feel better. The card makes me want a hot fudge sundae which, currently, is NOT on my food regimen. Still it looks so yummy & gooey. Seriously, that cone is perfect.

Have a great weekend, glad to hear Courtney is feeling better.

Wonderful news that Courtney is improving. Continuing to send prayers for her (and you).
Ohmygoodness! Those ice cream scoops with chocolate sauce look soooo real! Makes me want some ice cream! Wonderful job, as always.

Love, love it Darlene, now you made me hungry for strawberry ice cream. I love how you created the hot fudge on top of the yummy ice cream scoops, and those sprinkles are so sweet and look just perfect.
Where did you get the beads? they are so teeny, tiny and so beautiful.
Thank you for another fabulous video.
Darlene DeVries
Hi Maria. I got the beads at the scrapbook convention in Arlington, TX. It was probably 5 years ago. I have since lost the packaging, so I don’t know who makes them. 🙁

This card is so cute! The chocolate fudge looks so realistic and gooey with the glossy accents! I am also very happy to hear that Courtney feels better, and she will continue to be in my prayers. 🙂

Oooooh when I saw the close up of those sprinkles I got soooo excited!!! Okay, I did get a little hungry for chocolate, too! LOL You know if you make a card that makes someone crave what your coloring, you’ve done your job. HAHA! Love the card, it’s fantastic and the technique for that cone is UBER KEWL!! =) Also, the way you colored that bowl was pretty impressive…I would have never thought of that. I’m waiting on a set of stamps that has an ice cream cone…will have to remember that about the blender pen. Thanks for sharing another awesome card! =)

I so love your sundae card! The hot fudge look is perfect. I really wondered how you did it when I first saw the still shot. It was a lot simpler than anything I may have thought! 🙂 Thanks for the inspiration! ~ Andrea

Wow, I am so loving your sundae card Darlene! It looks so yummy. lol I love the way you did the hot fudge sauce, looks so real. I also love how you did the corn, that was very realistic looking too. So happy to hear that your daughter is doing much better and that the fevers are staying low or none at all. My hubby’s fevers are doing better too. Hugs, Brenda
