My kit had a great Ice Cream truck in it and I knew I definitely wanted to use it on a card! So fun!

The patterned papers that come in the kit are from the Bo Bunny Lemonade Stand collection. They are bright and fun and I knew they would work perfect for a fun scene using the ice cream truck. 

I cut out the grass area and the sky from the patterned paper and then used a piece of Simon Says Stamp Slate cardstock to create the road area. To give them the fun curve and stitched detail, I used the Mama Elephant Landscape Trio dies to cut them out.

Since the ice cream truck and sky were so similar in colour, I layered a piece of vellum over the sky area to mute the colour a bit and make the truck stand out more. But then I didn't like how hard it was to see the clouds, so I cut clouds out of the remaining patterned paper and adhered them on top of the vellum piece.

I finished the card with some glossy accents on the center of the wheels and some glitter on the ice cream cone and other areas on the truck.

I also created another card that is over on the Simon Says Stamp blog. It uses another fun embellishment for the sentiment and a watercolour background using the Distress Markers that come in the kit.
