CASology Week 123: EAT

I chose this stamp set from Purple Onion for this week's CASology challenge. When coloring I thought about my favorite ice cream flavors and it made me think of my childhood. Growing up in Portland, Oregon there was not always snow every year but when there was my father would make snow ice cream and the flavor was always peppermint. Now living in Southern California the stores showcase peppermint ice cream during the Christmas holidays and I am in heaven. As a young girl I would often go to the local ice cream store and choose one scoop of coffee ice cream and one scoop of rocky road. Can you see the smidge of marshmallow? Popsicles were not my first choice of treats but I loved banana. I don't even know if they make it nowadays. I also love banana cream pie.

So typical of my style of CAS I inked and heat embossed the image and then colored with copics. On the rocky road ice cream cone I first used white crayon before coloring with brown. That is it a CAS birthday card which I may send to my childhood friend of 54 years. Yikes! We have sent cards to one another for all these years as our birthdays are four days apart.
