A Cardmaker's Cake Recipe!

 

Hello! 

Welcome to my little crafting place! 

 

Today is Friday, so its Daring Cardmakers Day and it was my toru to set the challenge this week

I ended up making 2 cards butwasn't particularly happ with either.  We've been doing this challenge thing for a very long time, and most of our team, past and present will agree that your own challenge is always the hardest to make sonething for! 

Weird, isn't it?

A Cardmaker's Cake Recipe!
If you made a cake you would use eggs, sugar, butter and flour
My challenge is a twist or 'play on words' of those ingredients; I've just substituted crafty elements for butter, sugar etc.

Ingredients

Flower(s)
the colour Yellow   
Glitter or other 'tiny sprinkly' stuff  
Oval shape, a bird, a nest, or something else egg related

You may also add 2 other 'ingredients' of your choice

Method

Mix well and add your own creative magic 

It doesn't have to be a cake!

See some circular inspiration from the design team HERE

 

 

 

 

 

 

So, anywaytoday I'll show you the card I probably like best of the two, and share the second one another time. 

 

The butter (yellow stripes) was creamed together with the sugar (there are stripes of glitter on the white section) until light and fluffy

I beat in the eggs (oval wreath made using a die cut edged with leaves)

Then I folded in the flour (Peony flowers) and baked till golden!

Once baked I sprinkled more 'sugar' on the leaves and edges of the petals

My 'extra ingredients were the other colours and the extra leaves

Items Used:

Single & Double Peonies by Susan Tierney-Cockburn

The wreath die is also Spellbinders but old and no longer available

Nuvo mousse for the blue oval and to colour the paper the petals are cut from

Glmmer Dust glitter

Green card

PC generated sentiment

 I love peonies, and this week the first one opened up - which is probably why I went for peonies for this card!

I thought I'd share a photot as its so beautiful.  It's probably a bit sad by now as it's not stoped raining since it appeared!

 

Thank you so much for coming by.

 

 Happy Crafting, Take care of yourself,
