Bon Appetit!  Diana gave the Design Team an informal challenge to create a card using Red, White and Black from the new  A Little Yummy for Your Tummy Collection available at Magnolia-licious.  They are all adorable images along the line of a Kitchen/Cooking Theme; I can already see the endless possibilities for snacks and goodies bags with the jam labels, tea cup, cupcake and recipe card . . . oh and the rolling pin!  So I created a card with this sweet little chef girl  (#383 Oops Tilda) that has just broken an egg . . . ahem . . . that so me – at least the clumsy part is. 

I’m loving the design paper too – oh yeah, its part of the collection, is a nice weight cardstock and is also available at Magnolia-licious.  She is colored with copics and it was pretty easy since the theme called for red, white and black.   I left her apron and hat white and just worked with greys to shade a little.  I shaded a little bit more on the outside than I normally do because there were so few colors on the image.  For the sign I used the jam label which normally has lines within, I just omitted them and computer generated the word Bon Appetit.

So, a little bit of news . . . these images have arrived so hop over to Magnolia-licious and have a look while they are still available.  In addition, pre-orders are still going on for the So Spooky Collection.   And . . . a new collection is now available for pre-order – So Jolly – Under The Mistletoe – So Snowy Collections.  Would you believe me if I said it is the cutest collection yet?  Oy . . . I got a good look at this collection last night and it will be hard not to have them all!!

Card Recipe:
Stamps: 
Magnolia – #383 Oops Tilda
Paper:
Magnolia – So Yummy Paper Pack
Ink:  Memento – Black Tuxedo
Accessories: 
Spellbinders Curved Rectangles, Fiskars Apron Lace Border Punch, Ribbon, Bling

Well that caps it off for me on this post – I’m working on other things from this collection so keep your eyes open.  Hope to see you soon!

    As usual a beautiful card… I’m always amazed by your creativity. I do have one question, you said you computer generated the words ‘Bon Appetit’… what font did you use, is it MS Word or a font package? I like to do that too, because many times the stamps I have are never the right size or I can’t find the words I want to use in a stamp.ReplyCancel

  • ElaineOctober 18, 2009 - 12:04 pm

    Love your card but the website for the stamps is a little bit confusing. I could not find the image and they only show a tad little bit of the stamp so you have to click on each one…I wish it were easier to navigate their site! :( Your card kind of makes up for it because it’s darling!! :)ReplyCancel

    What a different but beautiful idea! It would make a great insert page idea for a hand made cook book, a memory cook book of one’s mother’s or grandmother’s favorite recipes or even a nice Christmas cook book gift.

Also, tis the sweetest sketch challenge.  What challenge you ask?  Well, JustRite Stamps is the sponsor over at 2Sketches4 You this week.  You still have time to do the sketch and upload it at the 2Sketches4 You site.   The winner will take away a $100.00 gift certificate from JustRite so what are you waiting for?

I used JustRite Something Sweet Borders and Centers set for the round element of the sketch – which is cut from Spellbinders Classic Scalloped Circles Large and Spellbinders Standard Circles Large.   I framed it with Spellbinders Polka Dot Frame embellished with buttons.  Lastly I used the top part of Spellbinders Fancy Tags for decoration. 

Card Recipe:
Stamps:  JustRite Something Sweet Borders and Centers.
Paper:  K & Co, Bazzill, Hobby Lobby Christmas stack
Ink:  Red dye based ink, Versafine Black Onyx and clear embossing powder.

Thanks for peeking in on me today!

    Your card has the hidden message! You always do beautiful work. I’m new at this card creating and you just inspire me so much.ReplyCancel

I know for some of you the seasons careened directly from summer, into an early snow or winter.  We can only dream about fall, right?  I’m sharing a card today that is all about fall.  The Created by Hand Tuesday Challenge this week is to create something related to Harvest, so I picked this new sentiment from Quietfire Design called Give me the Splendid Silent Sun and sat down to work.  How uplifting, it makes me sigh and think of the majesty of fall! 

First of all, I pulled out my Copic Airbrush System.  After I use it, I wonder why I haven’t used it in so long, lol!  It took me a quick second to get warmed up and spray around the edges of my Spellbinders Labels Eight with two shades of Copic markers (yikes I didn’t write them down, I was so absorbed in the process).  My goal was to give a little glow like . . . you know, the splendid silent sun :D.  I also cut the Spellbinders on the Vine Border Grand from Pergamano parchment then distressed it with dye inks including Vintage Photo Distress Ink and Adirondack Oregano Dye Ink.  You’ll ask what the Pergamano parchment is – it’s a full bodied translucent paper that looks like vellum – it stands up to embossing very well and takes on die based inks like a dream.  I simply smudged the dye ink on the top and it was absorbed into the paper.  For the green part of the vine I wanted a darker shade so I smudged on both the front and back of the die cut.

Card Recipe:
Stamps:  Quietfire – Give Me the Splendid Sun
Paper:  Strathmore 140lb Watercolr Paper, K&Co, Pergamano Parchment
Ink:  Colorbox Pigment Ink – Rousillion, Clear Embossing Powder, Vintage Photo Distress Ink, Adirondack Oregano, Assorted Dye Based Inks
Accessories:  Spellbinders Labels Eight, Spellbinders on the Vine Border Grand, Ribbon, Buttons

Don’t forget, If you want to submit art for the Created by Hand Challenge, pop over, leave a comment and a link back to your work showing with a Harvest theme.  In the meantime . . .

Have a great day and remember to go where your heart goes!
