One Scoop at time: Unity Stamp Company

Hi Crafty Friends! Hope you are doing well! I am up on the Unity stamp Company blog today! I love summer and ice cream cones remind me of a warm summer day! How about you? Today’s card is using the adorable set, One Scoop at a Time!

I started by stamping the ice cream cone and 4 scoops of ice cream onto Bristol watercolor card stock.  I used Versafine Ink in Nocturne to stamp the images.  Once everything was stamped I taped the card stock to a hard board to prevent warping and started to watercolor.  For today’s project I am using my Tombow Dual Brush pens.  I used 2 layers of color for each stamped image.  I always allow each layer to dry before adding the next color!  Once everything was colored, I trimmed each of the images and set these aside.  Did you know Unity also has digital cut files for many of their stamps?  Check it out here! I also used the adorable sprinkles stamp and heat embossed some sprinkles on one scoop using WOW powder in – Fruit Tingle!

Next I started to work on my background!  I love bright colors and and wanted to create a fun, bright background for my ice cream cone!  For the background I used 2 colors from Jane Davenports Mermaid Markers to create the background.  I placed a small amount of ink on my glass mat in yellow spritzed with water and “smooshed” my paper onto the ink.  I then did the same with a red color.  I then repeated the process until I had the colors I was looking for.  I then set the background aside to dry.

Once everything was dry, I wanted to add a bit more texture and interest to the background.  I used a Confetti stencil from Simon Says Stamp, with some glitter glaze.  Once this was dry, I then die cut the panel using a Nested Scallop Slimline die. I then stamped a sentiment from the One Scoop at a Time set. I then adhered the cone and scoops of ice cream, using both liquid glue and foam tape.  Finally I adhered the panel to a yellow card base.

I had a lot of fun creating this card!
