Here's my first card:

NCC Products: Ice Cream

ODBD Products: Vintage Ephemera Paper Pad

I kept this card pretty color neutral except for the pops of teal in the ice cream's glass cup and the buttons. I love the dark, rich brown of the chocolate ice cream (my favorite!) and the papers!

Here's my second card:

NCC Products: Ice Cream Shoppe

ODBD Products: Antique Labels and Border Die, Sunburst Background Die

This card a bit more shabby since I inked the background after I embossed it with the Sunburst Background Die. I stamped and die cut the image and then colored it with Prismacolor pencils, I also slightly inked the edges of the cream cardstock of the image and the sentiment. I finished it off with a big blue ribbon bow right under the sentiment.

Here's a close up of the card:


Here are the NEW Products that I used for these two cards:
