Crafters Cafe Challenge #306 Theme: FOOD

 Yeppers!  That is right.  Dig out the digi or real stamps and show us your food.  Donuts, cakes or maybe spaghetti.  Get creative gang.  Here is our sponsor.



I have been coloring and creating with Beccy's Place Digital Stamps for many moons now.  I love how intricate her images are.  Please go show some love and give her a big thank you for being a sponsor.

Since the theme for this challenge is food I chose the Make-A-Wish Digital Stamps.   The image I chose was the tall birthday cake.  Here is my project.

This was an experiment.  I had a couple books of different
colored Burlap that is paper backed.  Always wanted to make
a Burlap Card.  I picked a lime green sheet and folded it
in half.  I used a scalloped oval dies and a solid edge oval die
and cut the front pieces.  I colored the cake with my Castle 
Arts Alcohol Markers.  Then I used gems and green markers to
finish the cake.  I used spray adhesive to glue down the
ovals.  


I cut another scalloped oval and flipped the paper from the
front over to cut the smaller oval.  


Here is what the inside caption says.

Now for my results.  Would I make another card from burlap?  NO. Would I use Burlap as an element on a card?  Yes.  Using Burlap as a card base just didn't work.  I tried to fold it in half and it would not stay folded.  So I got out the modge podge and slapped it on.  Folded, anchored it will bulldog clips and let it dry over night.  (could hardly get it apart in the morning).  Then while trying to glue the elements on the burlap it just didn't work.  Or it worked and fell off over night.   UUUGGGGHHHHH!  Oh one other complaint.  Back in the late 70's, I made a lot of macrame plant hangers.  The burlap had the same effect.  Sneezing and snorting with a lovely cough.  Not again.

Thanks so much for visiting my little corner of the world.  From my heart to yours,

Stay Safe, Stay Healthy and know you are blessed!

Happy Blessed Easter
