OK. I have only made one actually, but I wanted you to see the different backgrounds. I normally use the scanner with the lid left UP so I get a black background, I like the contrast effect.When I did this card, you couldn't see the 'flake'; so I closed the lid, to make it a white background, and oh dear, it squashed the ice cream.
Yes, I know I should have just got a piece of fabric - goodness knows I have plenty of it, - and draped it over the card instead of closing the lid, but I couldn't be bothered to go in the other room as I was comfy! Lazy me!!
ever you are????!!!!I miss you.
The cornet is made from eight - yes 8 - layers of netting, the coarse type, I liked the effect, I then zigzagged the pattern on it, the ice cream scoops are made of sari silk, they have a tiny amount of wadding in them to make it 3D, and the flake is a 100% cotton, stitched in rows, folded, then pleated, to give the 'flake' effect. I think it worked. I was going to put some sprinkles on it, but thought I best leave well alone, knowing my track record of late!!

OH my goodness!! That is beautiful. I remember those kinds of ice cream cones too!!
Lots of work on that yummy ice cream cone! the things I learn from you, so simple and yet I didn't think of putting in a bit of cotton to make it 3D. Sew so fun.
