CHILL POPSICLES

Hi friends!

Playing along with this FRESHLY MADE SKETCHES Challenge

(ends 7/6)

Happy to finally get this set out and use it! When I make a purchase I like to write out a little Post It to include in the storage envelope stating the price, location and date purchased. I find it incredible this could’ve been from a 2023 purchase - what?!! Maybe I wrote the date wrong 😂

 

And so I’m also playing along with the July NBUS Never Before Used Schtuff Challenge, where Darnell has graciously arranged for some fabulous prizes! 

Check the NBUS blog for rules and such. 

These popsicles didn’t come with indentations so I just cut some thin strips, rounded the corners slightly, and covered them with gel medium after I had pasted them down. I used a scissor to take a bite out of the orange one for interest, and added the white gel pen to the corners for an illusion of dimension. I used a little brown ink and a blender brush to get some shadowing on the sticks, and added some white gel pen to the tips. I backed both popsicles with some heavyweight scrap card and then put the orange one on foam tape as well.

I used the scalloped circle to suggest a modern paper doily by using a Crop-a-dile to punch holes around the edges as shown. The sentiment is triple mounted for some dimension.
