My card today uses images from the Rubbernecker Sweets section, so it seemed appropriate to also use Basic Grey Two Scoops paper. Even though there are actually 3 scoops in the banana split!

After browsing through BeckyTE’s gallery I decided to case this precious card of hers: Leaping Lop. Becky is this week’s Featured Stamper (FS58) on Splitcoaststampers.

I kept her layout and the use of patterned papers and spring colors. I didn’t use the paper piecing technique for the main image, even though that was one of my favorite things about her card.

The papers were sewn using 2 different stitches. It’s hard to see since I used white thread on light colored papers, but if you look closely at the upper left had corner you may be able to make it out. I used my Stamp-a-ma-jig to place the sentiment on 3 different lines instead of 1. It’s stamped in Ranger Distress Walnut Stain ink.

The images were stamped in Brilliance Graphite Black on shimmery vanilla (what else?), colored with Copic markers, and cut out.

I used 3 different ribbons on the card, one of which is the light pink rickrack from the Martha Stewart craft line. It’s just stiff enough so that I was able to curl the ends just a little.

The banana split is popped up on mounting tape as is the center cherry at the bottom. The other 2 are attached with glue dots.

Thanks for stopping by. I hope you have a wonderful day! And Happy Hunting!!!
