just add sprinkles




Just add sprinkles it's your day, I always think a little sparkle on your birthday is in order. This card was done with the Cottage Cutz Ice Cream Cones Die. It cool, it comes with four scoops of ice cream and two style of cones that you can mix and match , build them up and create any size ice cream cone. I added old fashion bugle beads to the card as sprinkles, it adds sparkle and texture. You need to glue them down with Glossy Accents for holding power. If you over due with the glossy accents, just add a little Stickle randomly on the sides of the beads, I guess you could call Stickle the opps... concealer. I also added some tinsel cord, by gluing the cord part under the pop outs and letting the tinsel do its job. Don't forget to use a white Gelly Roll pen to add contrast to the cone. Don't be afraid to change a few colors out on the lettering. I doubled a couple of letters with pink on top, but offset the color to let the brown still show.

What a wonderful card. I love cards that feature ice cream cones or popsicles. The 3D beads are just a perfect touch.
