Kitchen Fun

The current challenge at Double D features a mood board with a great theme- Kitchens! I created an apron card with several layers of patterned paper.  Added ribbon ties and scrapbook utensils.  Printed the sentiment for the front and back of the card on my computer.

I love this sweet little image from Whimsy named "Penguin Light Me Up." Decided to use the image for a Valentine card by converting the Christmas lights into red heart lights. (I didn't have any red vellum, so I drew the hearts with a fine-line permanent marker on red plastic document folders.  They come in a pack of assorted colors and you can find them in office supply stores. They are often cheaper than colored vellum and are more translucent.  They are also easy to fussy-cut with a nice, sharp pair of scissors.)

Had fun making this card using a wonderful image from The Paper Shelter named "Snowboarder Girl." The background is a photo cut from a magazine page that features winter sports. I liked the icicles along the top of the photo. As soon as I saw it, I knew that I had to put it to good use!  Colored the beautiful young snowboarder with Spectrum Nior. I added a close up so that you can see the wonderful details in this image. Added a bit of bling with Polar White Flower Soft mixed with micro-fine clear glitter.  The sentiment is a freebie from TLC Creations (createwithtlc.blogspot.com)
