Strawberry Ice Cream and Sparkles

Wahoo! I was included with this awesome group at Colour Q for this card. It’s an honor to be a member of the colourQ Courtiers. I always get a happy grin when I’m reading my blog roll and get surprised with one of my creations or name listed on someone else’s blog. Wahoo!

Today I’m sharing a card from an SU card kit. We’ve been having some hot weather in MN and quite a few t-storms. Nothing like an ice cream treat to cool things down. I love the clean lines using heat and stick to apply glitter and always forget to use it. I tend to just make a mess with my glue stick. This works so well for solid images PLUS it’s dry once you set it. My other glitter go to are Stickles and I can’t count the number of times I’ve smudged my card by accidentally touching the drying Stickles. Maybe if I leave my heat and stick out, I’ll use it more. Hmm, it’s more likely that I will just lose the jar on my jumbled desk.
