I'm in - and had the cutest set that hadn't gotten the love it deserved... thanks Color Throwdown!
This Berry Patch set is from Pigment Craft Co... I sure wish I knew what is happening with that company and its darling owner! I combined my stamped/die cut berries with a few dies from Pinkfresh Studios and here are my Catherine Pooler inks:
You know my rule - a second card was brewing before the glue was dry! These primary colors and the bowl from that Berry Patch set called for ice cream:
A fun quote bubble from Altenew says it all: ice cream in ANY flavor is good!
My scoops were created from EH cloud dies - tell me you haven't thought of ice cream
while cloud gazing!
Narelle's stack of squares in her Freshly Made Sketch #648 was all the inspiration I needed to use them on a card! Sprinkles anyone? all those little dots from that cover die from The Stamp Market came in handy... here's how I custom-colored them:
My little grip mat came in handy to keep them around while drying! Stickles Diamond Sparkles
was the glue that kept them from melting off the ice cream!
It's been a really strange week here - nothing bad, just not my usual crafty week. I'm so happy you stopped by today and to have fun challenge inspiration to make cards again!

Those are some sweet little berries! You used those colors perfectly, Michele. Your ice-cream clouds have me wanting some vanilla bean ice-cream to go with the oatmeal cookies I made yesterday! What a darling way to fill those bowls!
ReplyDeleteLove both cards!! The berries and background are sweet and love those bowls of cloud ice cream with sprinkles!! So happy you joined us at CTD!!
ReplyDeleteTwo super sa-weet cards, Michele! Love your deconstructed basket with the strawberries and those bowls of ice cream look nice and cold and fluffy good.
ReplyDeleteSo fun to spot another Pigment Craft Co. strawberry card in this week's challenge!! I'm also a big fan, and hope they return soon. Love the design of your card :-)
ReplyDeleteLove your use of those fresh colors. Things are weird at my house too.
ReplyDeleteWhat's not to love about both of these bright and cheerful cards?!! Your strawberry card looks so yummy, but your ice cream card with the yummy sprinkles wins for me! Sweet, sweet cards my friend!! Hugs. :0)
ReplyDeleteYou may think it an off week but these two cards and I strongly disagree! Very cute, Michele, and we're always glad when your creative brain entertains us
ReplyDeleteThat is one berrylicious card but your second helpings of ice cream scoops with recycled sprinkles is GENIUS!!
ReplyDeleteAll I can say is YUM! Yum to everything...strawberries, ICE CREAM, and fun little sprinkles! You are one clever little chick!
ReplyDeleteFabulous cards with some awesome bits!! Thanks so much for sharing how you created those! You are amazing. That is all. Hugs!
ReplyDeleteBoth cards are delightfully cheerful in these bold colors. Strawberries and ice cream in one visit.... yes please!
ReplyDeletewonderful use of the colors Michele...and I hope the weird settles out.
ReplyDeleteOh my goodness, how fabulous are these? I love the strawberry card with taht wonderful backdrop of yellow and those wonderful hanging berries. The transition for the FMS sketch is just brilliant. LOVE the sprinkles. There's that brain again. I love it!
ReplyDeleteTwo adorable cards using the challenge colours, Michele. xx
ReplyDeleteOh my goodness. TWO fantastic cards! Thanks for playing along with us at the Color Throwdown Challenge!
ReplyDeleteThose are really cute cards! Love the strawberries.
ReplyDeleteAnd here I was thinking those sprinkles would be edible... alas no, I'll have to go back to my lemon slice and cuppa tea lol. Fabulous cards my friend!
ReplyDeleteoh so sweet, love both projects!
ReplyDeleteThank you so much for the GORGEOUS birthday card!!!
Two scrumptious cards, Michele. Love the idea of cloudy ice cream.
ReplyDeleteSummer summed up in two cards with delightful berries and creamy ice cream which whilst perusing your gorgeous cards I went and helped myself to a large bowl of home made lemon curd ice cream . THANKS SO MUCH FOR THE INSPIRATION
ReplyDeleteLovely berries Michele, your card is so yummy. Love the bowls of ice cream on the next card. You always delight me!
ReplyDeleteSuch beautiful cards!
ReplyDeleteThese are both adorable! And they feature two of my favorite summertime treats. Though, honestly, I think ice cream is a year-round staple.
ReplyDeleteOh so summery and sweet! Love the colors - and your patience and creativity to make all of those dotty toppings!
ReplyDeleteStrawberries and ice cream are fantastic separately and together! I love how you've place the berries in the yellow basket! Your sprinkles make the ice cream even better, my friend! And the stickles give the ice cream a bit of sparkly frostiness!
