Summer Days Are Drifting Away

I had a very busy weekend.  With Halloween fast approaching I'm preparing for my kid's, as well as that of greeting cards, kits, and decorations.  Did I fail to mention I have a husband and a full time job too.

Phew!  I'm tired just thinking of it. ​

With all this craziness going on, I had one heck of a productive weekend.  I entered into a contest in Stamp Junkies, a group on Facebook.  The contest is to win a set of lace butterfly wafer dies.  The challenge, make a card that symbolizes the things we will miss about summer now that we are into fall. 

When I stared with this challenge one song came to mind...'Summer Days' from the movie Grease.  I thought, " What a perfect sentiment!"  The next thing that I did was dig through my stamp stash to see what I could find.  Thank goodness that I has recently had a haul from Simon Says Stamp, where I purchased this wonderful layered stamp set of ice cream from Hero Arts.  It was perfect because it has the dies that come with it.  I set out to me a cute card that I now have sitting on my desk at work on a stand (Sorry I grew up on Grease). 

The set comes with the layers for a scoop of ice cream , soft serve and the cone.  Oh!  Don't forget the toppings!  there is a cherry, dots for gumballs, chocolate chips, sprinkles, nuts and syrup drizzle.

On this particular card you will note i used the gumball stamp for my background and then I accented with Glossy Accents (which i don't think shows to well in this picture, but eh!). 

Hopefully soon to follow this posting I will make a tutorial for layered stamps.  Have a great week!
