FCCB Challenge #149 Kiss The Cook x

OH YEAH !!

We all love the cook x

Hello and welcome to my Monday post for FCCB

Challenge #149 Kiss the Cook 

This week we were challenged by the lovely Janea to use a recipe on our project and here's what I came up with using the beautiful Lili of the Valley stamps "Sprinkled with Sugar" and "Recipe Sentiments" and of course my amazing Cricut Expression 2

I love my little pinny but it was the very devil to photograph but I have several close ups to share as always

 I used Every Day Paper Dolls Cartridge to make my pinny - cut at fit to page on plain white card, 12x12  Papermania Spring Time Papers and flocked white Doodle Bug card stock

I cut the little oven gloves, wooden spoon and rolling pin using the cut to scale button to make life easy. I then cut a white piece of Kanban stamping card at 90mm with a patterned shadow cut using George and Basic Shapes cartridge

I cut the top of the pinny in the flock card, stuck it onto the white card and then added the bottom half in pink gingham after pleating 2 paper doilies around the back to create the lace. They were glued in place with Cosmic Shimmer Glue
Every piece was highlighted around the edges with VersaColor ink in Baby Blue and Petal Pink

As promised to Lorraine out came the stamps and Promarkers, I used the blue Versa Color  ink again and embossed in holographic powder to keep the images soft but sparkly

I used seam binding for the ties and lots of lovely card candi sent to me by Lynn at the Craft Den to finish.

Please pop over and visit the fabulous design team at FCCB and then join us with your own project. Mr Linky is open from 0800 Monday until 2400 Sunday.

Please use at least 1 cricut cut and tell us which cart it is from to be in with a chance of a prize and top 5 Blinkie for your blog.

The ladies over at Crafty Ribbons have an "easel card" for this weeks challenge so that's where my cards journey began. 

I used double sided blue card for the base at 7x7", having taken my colour inspiration from the beautiful blue  and pink picture featured in  The Shabby Tea Room challenge. I  used the lay out over at The Sweet Stop using white and pink patterned  paper with more of the blue to create all their lovely layers. I used Distress Inks in Faded Jeans and Victorian velvet to soften the edges and

I'm hoping my card also meets the remit for Truly Scrumptious "Pretty in Pink" and Paper Shelter's "Vintage/Shabby"

(I found it really difficult to do the card justice in my photographs as there is just sooo much going on lol)

I am head over heels in love with "Fran-age" and have covered parts of the base and layers and most of the die cuts in the various vintage enamels, I sneaked a little lilac tinsel and the taupe fragments in too .

Hot Shot Craft features 

"Die Cuts" in their current challenge and Marianne's Design Diva's are looking for "Wings and Things" so I've added lots along with some "Swirls and Flourishes" inspired by Fussy and Fancy.

Whimsy Stamps are playing "Bingo" and I opted for "Pearls, Ribbon and White" to complete their challenge.

I cut my teapot on my Cricut (cause I just could'nt leave him out lol!!) and coloured the Lili of the Valley girls enjoying a gossip with my Promarker's. - (First time I've been brave enough to take a close up -urm!!) I  have some fabulous gold mesh,  ribbon, some netting and a fran-taged doily surrounding it along with tiny punched butterflies, dragonflies and leaves.

I have really enjoyed making this card and letting my imagination run riot !! Hope you all like it too!!

Happy Days x x x
