This months inspiration image was chosen by crew member Jan Clothier. It is a gorgeous image and the colours are so very beautiful together.

I have chosen the soon to be retiring Sweet Ice Cream Bundle and Stitched So Sweetly Dies for my project this challenge  I felt the green colours would make a great mint ice cream. My favourite!! I love the font of the Happy Birthday sentiment too.

1. Start with a Basic White  card stock measuring 21cm x 14.9cm
2. Cut another piece of Basic White card stock to measure 10cm x 14.3cm for a matt layer
3. Cut a piece of the Shimmery White card stock to measure 12cm x 9cm. Wet it with water using your Water Painter then use Polished Pink ink to completely colour the piece. Se aside to dry before die cutting with a Scallop Rectangle from the Stitched So Sweetly Dies
4. Die cut the label from the Stitched So Sweetly Die set in Basic White card stock
5. On Basic White card stock stamp the cone base in Crumb Cake ink then the cross hatch in Crumb Cake. Stamp one Ice Creams in Soft Seafood and the other in Just Jade. On the Soft Seafood Ice Cream stamp the Sprinkles in Just Jade. Punch out all three shapes.
6. Stamp the sentiment in Misty Moonlight ink on Basic White card stock then fussy cut close to the letters
7. Run a 13cm piece of the Misty Moonlight cotton ribbon across the front (in landscape) of the Basic White Matt layer and secure at the back using Tear n' Tape 
8. Adhere the Polished Pink Scallop Rectangle to the card front using Dimensionals
9. Pop the label up on Dimensionals and adhere to the centre of the card
10. Use Dimensionals to connect the cone to the two Ice Creams and pop this up on the label layer
11. Adhere the sentiment across the front of the Ice Cream using Dimensionals at each end and glue in the centre
12. Secure three of the Iridescent Rhinestones to the label layer
13. Tie a 12cm length of both the Misty Moonlight Cotton Ribbon and a 12cm length of the Silver Elegant Trim in a bow and adhere to the right hand side of the card using a glue dot
