Share A Milkshake With A Cherry On Top Card

Hi Crafting Friend,
The Spring Equinox is upon us which means that Summer's heat isn't far behind. That makes a card with a depiction of a cool treat, or two, quite appropriate for today's post.
The card base is Calypso Coral, 8 1/2" X 5 1/2" scored at 4 1/4" folded and burnished.
The insert is Basic White, 5 1/4" X 4
The Lemon Lolly striped layer, 5 1/4" X 4, is from the Lighter Than Air DSP paper pack. 
The sentiment is stamped on Basic White with Sweet Sorbet ink and punched with the retired Rectangular Postage Punch, but one of the smaller Perennial Postage dies would make a good substitute. It is adhered to the card front with dimensionals.
The cone for the ice cream was die-cut from Crumb Cake and inked with Pecan Pie using a sponge dauber. 
The bottom scoop was die-cut from a scrap of strawberry print Calypso Coral in the Delightfully Eclectic DSP paper pack, but a scrap of cardstock would work too. 
For the top scoop the die was traced and fussy cut (the die cuts a slit for the straw that would have shown, as seen in the milkshake on the right) from a multicolored diamond print in the Lighter Than Air DSP paper pack, then the edges were inked with Bubble Bath using a sponge dauber. 
The whipped cream is die-cut from Basic White. 
After folding and adhering the cone together, it was stuffed with a small piece of a cotton ball, the scoops of ice cream and whipped cream were adhered to the top of the cone and the cotton sticking out of it. The cone is adhered to the card front with Multipurpose Liquid Glue, as are the edges of the ice cream. This gives it great dimension, but I'm not sure it would go through the cancelling machine at the post office because of how much it sticks up.
The chocolate milkshake is stamped with Pecan Pie on Basic White, then die-cut. 
The scoop of vanilla ice cream, straw, and whipped cream are die-cut from Basic White. 
The ice cream is edged and lightly colored with Pecan Pie ink and a sponge dauber. 
The straw is colored with Bubble Bath and a sponge dauber. 
The whipped cream is lightly edged with Pecan Pie. 
The cherry is die cut twice. Once from Garden Green and once from Sweet Sorbet. Cut the stem off the Sweet Sorbet and adhere it on top of the Garden Green. 
Adhere the pieces of the milkshake together, then use a Dimensional and a couple of Mini Dimensionals in the center with Multipurpose Liquid Glue around the edges to adhere it to the card front.

 Its almost time for the new Annual Catalog which means that one set of In Colors is retiring and a new set is being added. If you love the retiring colors, I suggest you get your favorites ASAP because retiring In Colors alway sell out!  The links for the last chance lists are below, as is a link to my online store.
