Rainbow Ice Cream Card

Hello my crafty friends.  In keeping with our families tradition to have ice cream on a certain day in July ... here is my second ice cream card!  If you'd like to read more about this tradition, I will add the details below the photos.

This card started with a printed card & coordinating envelope set that I got on the clearance rack at Stampin' Up. I added some rainbow strips and a die cut ice cream cone, as well as a little bling.

Here is a look at the inside where I used fine point markers to write the sentiment. 

When my Mom was a little girl, there was always a July parade in their town. Afterwards her dad, my Grampa, would take her to the drugstore for an ice cream soda. She continued the tradition with my brother and I, on a special day in July she would take us for ice cream. And I did that with our kids too - bringing my Mom along. We always made sure she had ice cream on that day. 

Now that she has passed, we continue the tradition - raising an ice cream cone to her in a toast and our grandkids think it's a great tradition! I also send my family ice cream themed cards to celebrate.
