Here is my card for this week. I had to do a little staging with some of my Mom's beautiful dishes.

Here is a better view of the card. I used the Cricut Doodlecharms cartridge for my ice cream cone. I double embossed on the red cardstock. I used D'Vine Swirl first and then ran it through again using Swiss Dots.

I also added some cherry printed ribbon. I got it at Michaels in the $1 bin. The pink you see underneath the cherry ribbon is actually a cupcake liner. It is such an easy way to add pleats to your work without all the hassle. Talk about inexpensive too!!! I think 100 of these in a pack are less than $2!

Here is a close up of my ice cream cone. I used Argyle for the cone. I ran the top portion of the ice cream through using D'Vine Swirl. I then went over the swirls with Stickles. I also inked up my red cherry with Versamark and then sprinkled on red embossing powder. This really gives it a shiny, waxy texture that you would see on a real cherry.

I got this stamp in the $1 bin at Michaels also. This view also shows my double embossing in the background a bit better.

So do come on over to The Cuttlebug Spot and join in on another fun challenge! I can't wait to see all of your creations!
Take care and have a beautiful day!
