Soft Suede card – 3⅝” by 2⅝”
Very Vanilla card – 3½” by 2½”

I stamped the ice cream top onto scrap Very Vanilla card with Mango Melody ink. The straw was stamped in Gray Granite ink onto the same scrap card and both images were die cut using the same set of dies. I used liquid glue to adhere the die cut images together and then to add them to the smaller Very Vanilla panel. The whole piece was mounted onto the card front on Dimensionals.
