For this card, I used the SSS Ice Cream Parade Die, and Distress Inks.
I started by cutting the front panel using the SSS Stitched Shapes frame and the Ice Cream Cone parade on white Recollections 110lb cardstock.
I also cut the parade die a 4 more times, so I could build up the dies and create the shaker pockets for the seed beads to go. I used the inside portions of one of the dies and colored the ice cream parts using Distress inks and sponge daubers. I used, Picked Raspberry, Spiced Marmalade, Mustard Seed, Cracked Pistachio and Salty Ocean.
For the cones I used a scrap of brown polka-dot paper. I started by gluing one of the ice cream borders to the card base and then glued the inside pieces in. I layered the rest of the 4 outlines portions on top after that. I added some clear seed beads I picked up from Michael's, and put about 5 in each area. I then glued a piece of acetate to the front panel, added some foam tape and adhered that to the rest of the card.
I then stamped the sentiment using the SSS Handwritten Sentiments and the new Lawn Fawn Fish Tank ink.
If I were to make this card again, I would have forgone cutting the die 5 times and just put the outline on the top of the acetate, so there would be one larger pocket and not 10 small ones.
