2S4Y: Ultimate Card Showdown!

Ok, here it is. I am so glad I got to participate this week. If you haven't heard about the Ultimate Card Showdown, you can check it all out HERE. 
Here's my submission:

You know I had a lot of fun making this card, but without fail when I get done with a challenge I always wish I would have done something different. Do you run into that too? It's such a nuisance. I wish I could just be happy with it as is. Anyway. I have been wanting to use this ice cream image from Pink Paislee for awhile and I think it worked well with this. 
Here is a close up of the tag. I covered the back with tape and looped the embroidery floss around the edge. It adds a fun detail! Ok, so how have things been for you this week? Today I feel I can breathe a bit, so it's been nice. Hope your day is going well too!
loves~

    I do that a lot - I used to try to re-do those things, but I've learned to let them go. Great card!!

    Yah, I know what you mean. I always find something that I think I could have added.
    But seriously there is nothing that needs to be changed here. I adore your card - it's wonderful

    Thanks for taking part in the UCS

    I can't believe that I'm just now seeing this card! Girl, this is fantabulous!! I love the ice cream (as I am a HUGE ice cream lover). That floss trick was very, very clever. Love it all!! Hope you're doing well :)
