FAVOURITE FOOD?
Morning Everyone,
Today is the start of a new challenge at As You Like It and we are asking you to share a creation relating to your favourite food.
I love anything sweet whether it be cake or chocolate, anything really. If we go out for a meal I'd much rather have a dessert than a starter (can't manage 3 courses nowadays!).
For my DT card I have used images from the MFT stamp set called Mice Day to Celebrate. I chose the paper first and then coloured the images with copics. I decided on a fairly plain design as the image, when cut with a stitched square, was quite large. I inked around the edge of the square with red ink to go with the paper.
The sponsor for the challenge is Lawn Fawn with a voucher for the lucky winner.

Thank you for visiting and have a good day.

NEW HOME
Morning Everyone,
This is a new home card I made with a Stamping Bella image.
I have coloured with copics and added a pearl heart and pretty ribbon. I'm not sure where the paper came from as I made this a while ago, but I thought the colours went well with that of the image. The sentiment comes with the stamp.
I would like to add this to:

MASCULINE BIRTHDAY
Good Morning Everyone,
I hope you've had a good Easter weekend. A fairly quiet one for us but the weather has been lovely so I've made a start on sorting the garden.
This is a card I've made for my daughter's fiancé. He recently took her on a mystery holiday for her birthday, which was in Portugal and, while they were there, he proposed so I can call him fiancé now instead of boyfriend.

NEW OR RECYCLED?
Good Morning Everyone,
It is time for a new challenge over at As You Like It and we are asking whether you prefer to recycle items for your crafting or use new stuff.
Sometimes I see things that I could re-use on a card but I much prefer to use new stuff and I certainly seem to have plenty of that at the moment! I think it makes it more exciting if it's new and you wonder how it's going to turn out.
For my card I have used The Greetery Balloon Bouquet stamp set and their twisted crepe dies. It took a bit of practice to line up the flowers on the largest balloon. There are four steps to it and even a tiny bit out and it doesn't look right. Another thing I found with the set is that I couldn't find an ink that would stamp evenly for the large ballon so I ended up using coloured cardstock for that one. The two smaller balloons have been coloured with copics.
Glitter has been added to the streamers on every other piece and also to the numbers. Sequins in similar colours to the balloons finish it off.

FLORAL BIRTHDAY
Good Morning Everyone,
This is a card I've made with my fairly new Stampin Up stamps and dies called Artistically Inked.
The flowers and leaves are the layering type and have been stamped in 2 shades of yellow and green and cut out with their dies. The smaller leaves are gold as is the strip of tape, but they look black in the photo. I've added a few splatters of gold paint and the sentiment from the set is heat embossed in gold.
I'm not overly happy with the final outcome, but it's only my first attempt at playing with the set so hopefully will improve in time.

INTERACTIVE OR NOT?
Good Morning Everyone,
Today is the start of a new challenge at As You Like It and we are asking whether you prefer to make Interactive (moving parts) projects or not. I think I've only ever made one interactive card so I must be in the "not" category.

FEBRUARY RUDOLPH DAYS
Morning Everyone,
When I made a previous card here it wasn't my first attempt at embossing the images. My first try didn't turn out too well so I trimmed the bad parts and made it into a smaller card. Can't let the good bits go to waste!

SIMPLE START AT THE CUTIE PIES
Good Morning Everyone,
It is time for the start of a new challenge over at the Cutie Pies and the first one is themed as Simple Starts, i.e. we would love to see your CAS projects featuring a cute image.
We have been kindly provided with images by the sponsor, Lee Holland, and I have used this adorable mouse with rose. There just happens to be a 50% sale on at the moment too. I have coloured him with copics and just added a silver embossed sentiment, which was a freebie from a magazine, and attached him to pink paper to match the rose.
I am a little late putting this on as hubby has been hogging the computer nearly all weekend with something that needed doing and I can't even comment on my phone for some reason even though I am logged into my account.
I would like to enter:
Thank you for visiting, I hope you like my make, and any comments you leave are very much appreciated.
