I have a stamp focus post using Altenew’s new Summer Swirls stamp set and that means I have three cards and one video to share, so let’s get to it!
My first card uses a no-line colouring technique with my Copics and the coordinating die cuts for the ice-cream images.
I stamped the sentiment with Espresso Ink using the Invisible Alpha and Thinking of You stamp sets.
My second card involved dusting off the Gansai Tambi’s for a watercolour panel background. I seriously am loving the Pure White embossing powder it doesn’t miss a beat!
I know, I know, it’s the Bold Alpha die again… but isn’t it worth it?
My last card has a video to show the process of how it came together below.
The background was stamped with the new inks (Yay!) using A Splash of Color stamp set and the sentiment is from Birthday Greetings.
You can see my video here or Watch it in HD at Youtube.

This looks like a fun set! There’s exactly enough spaces on the ice cream truck’s awning to spell ‘ice cream’!
Scrumptious, Therese … all three … I especially love the last one with the splodge (melted ice-cream?) background behind the ice cream truck … fabulous colours … and deliciously CAS! Hugs, Anita 🙂
