Sweet Sneak Peak

Woo Hoo! Only one week left until the Summer Mini catalog is official! In the mean time I have another sneak peak! This is a layout/idea I used years ago but I tweaked it to fit the, soon to be available, Sweet Scoops stamp set.
  So here is how I made it just in case you need to know. The base card is Close to Cocoa cardstock that I swiped with Close to Cocoa ink. It gives it a chocolaty ice cream kind of look! Yum!

  The ice cream scoops are from the Sweet Scoops stamp set. I stamped the Pixie Pink and Sage Shadow scoops directly to the cardstock. The Close to Cocoa scoop was cut out and adhered. And don't forget the cherry - stamped, cut out, and made glossy with Crystal Effects!

  The dish is just a Wide Oval punched from Barely Banana cardstock, trimmed and sponged.

  The spoon is a plain old wooden craft spoon. I stamped it with the saying from the same Sweet Scoops stamp set using Close to Cocoa ink. 

  And for an ice cream parlor kind of look I added gingham paper and a gingham ribbon. 

  This is a super easy and fun card to make. Enjoy!!

I saw this on Stampin Connection and added it to my favorites immediately. I love it! I was wondering how the choc background paper was made, now I know. Thanks for sharing the instructions. The wooden spoon is just adorable.
