I’ve  been on a mission to use all the adorable mice sets from Waffle Flower Crafts that I purchased this fall and these ice cream eating cuties from the Sweet Ice Cream  set have been calling my name! I also find myself wanting to try different styles of cards lately, and I always love the mini scenes that story board dies create, and since I have rarely used mine, I thought it was time to get it out.

I started by cutting some rich red card stock with my Lawn Fawn Peekaboo Backdrop and cutting it again from some Bristol Smooth Cardstock. I used some bright lime green scraps of cardstock to cut some little grassy hills using the Grassy Hillside Borders Lawn Cuts. I trimmed them to be the same size as the little squares. Next, I inkblended spun sugar and picked raspberry distress oxide inks onto each square of Bristol Smooth cardstock. I splattered with clean water, white ink, and silver ink, then glued down the little grass strips on the squares.

Next, I stamped all of my images using grey River Rock Ink from Lawn Fawn, then colored them in using shads of pink, raspberry, red, and gray. After die cutting the images I highlighted them with tiny small white dots. I placed the die cut squares back into the white frame and secured from behind wit washi tape. Then I carefully glued the red frame over the top, using liquid glue. I adhered my images into the spaces then decided to add a few more images from the Waffle Flower Grow Happiness stamp set. I used a couple of small flowers and the cutie holding some tulips to fill in some of the empty spaces. I heat embossed you’re sweet into a gray cardstock word bubble and added a heart.

Once everything was in place, I finished off the design by adding a sprinkling of silver sequins and tiny stars. I had originally cit the letters fro the word sweet from silver cardstock for the front, but it was difficult to see, so I decided to add them into the card, along with the sentiment from the stamp set, “You’re as sweet as Ice Cream”.
