Yes, at last...it's officially Summer, and even though it was going to be the end of most restrictions here in the UK, (we are going to have to wait a few weeks more)it is Summer and to celebrate our new theme at Try It On Tuesday is 'Here Comes Summer'
The Design Team have lots of ways to celebrate - see here.
I don't eat much ice-cream as it plays havoc with my blood sugar levels, but every so often when we come across those places that have an array of different flavours I can't resist!
I made a card for myself that sort of gives me permission to have an occasional ice cream cornet (although I confess that I always go to the Berthillon shop in Paris when we are there - twice if I can!!!)
I masked off the edges of my card and used an Aall and Create stencil and sponged through with some ice-cream colour distress inks.The cute Janet Klein girl (also Aall and Create) is from a set called Choose Happy.
The sentiment was typed onto my label maker - a good quick way to get the words I wanted!
The ice-cream cone is by Simon Says Stamp. If you think the ice-cream is a bit bright it is actually the same colour as the supermarket's Raspberry Sorbet, and is the one iced dessert I eat usually, along with fruit. It has low sugar and actually doesn't affect my sugar levels at all. I hope you can be happy with me......'Here Comes Summer' and although our challenge only runs for two weeks, lets hope we all have a good Summer!
We will all look forward to seeing your Summer entries - please look at the TIOT website for the rules and guidelines.
Thanks for looking, Chris

ReplyDeleteThis is an adorable card Chris, and what a great idea to give yourself a card as permission for an occasional ice cream. The Janet Klein girl looks like she is ready for a taste too. Hugs-Erika

I love that little girl ( on my wish list!) pretty stencilled background and mouth watering ice cream cone ! I have never been a fan of icecream but for some reason this year I am really enjoying it, my favourite is salted caramel, can't get enough of it!
