Crafty Catz Challenge # 494- optional twist- Food


It's Friday again...another week has flown past and it's time for a new challenge at Crafty Catz, this week our lovely and talented Nick chose the theme of  'Food' - as always the theme is optional if you prefer not to use it!

We're sponsored this week by BECCY'S PLACE

There are so many lovely digis to choose from in the shop and if you visit the Blog there are loads of fabulous free images and great tutorials as well as her own challenges.

To make my card I used a fabulous and fun image from the Big Wishes set, the elephant with the cake,  it's gorgeous and was fun to colour up! I printed the image twice and cut out the cake image to pop up on some foam pads for a bit of dimension.  The blue background is embossed, papers are from Doodlebug, cake ribbon from Crafty Ribbons- attached with a brad I've had for so long it's probably an antique- and stamped sentiment. The little added cupcakes are one of Beccy's freebies-available here. The letters around the image are die cut separately and stuck on.

As always, there are some wonderful cards created by the Crafty Catz team to be enjoyed here  and we hope you choose to play along this week, it's a great theme but you don't have to follow it to join in!
Thanks for stopping by, have a lovely day and a great weekend.
Chris

FABULOUS and you are going to crack up, I am in the process of colouring this image, it's a beauty isn't it Chris...look at all that cake....calories galore.xxx

Beccy said...

Wow, what a card!! There's so much to love about this one Chris, starting with the awesome colour scheme. You've chosen wonderful bright colours that compliment each other perfectly, and your technique is fantastic. I also love the way you layered the cake for added dimension, what a great effect! The individual letters positioned around the top of the frame, the little coloured and fussy cut cupcakes and all the other elements you included really make this something special. Gorgeous!
Cheers,
Beccy
