Let's Bake a Cake at Creatalicious

Hello everyone,

I hope you all had a great weekend!  We woke up to more snow on Saturday morning :(  Well, it is perfect weather for 'baking a cake' which is the theme this month at Creatalicious challenges.  Here is the recipe - use at least these ingredients in your project:

- 1 ribbon/bow

- 2 buttons

- 2 flowers

- 1 clip/stich/fastening

- 2 patterned paper

- glitter (any kind)

This challenge is sponsored by Sassy Studio Designs and the DT were provided with images to use.  For my project, I used Effie Trinket Sassy 2.  I haven't actually read the books or seen the movie, so at first I did not realize she was a character from the Hunger Games.  I thought she was a Christmas image because of the poinsettia-like flower in her hair and I was going to make a Christmas card.  Luckily, I did a little research and ended up making a bookmark instead - much more appropriate :o)

Here is what went in my cake:

Paper - white card, pale yellow card, 4 papers from MME Miss Caroline collection (the lace is paper too - not sure if it shows).

Image - Effie Trinket Sassy 2 from Sassy Studio Designs coloured with Prismas.  She is a full length image, but I cut her off at the knees.

Flowers, buttons & glitter - flowers are a poinsettia die cut by Spellbinders.  I put some Stampin' Up buttons in the centers and gave them a spritzing with Lindy's Stamp Gang Glitz Spritz in Blazing Sun for my glitter.

Ribbon/bow - I used seam binding ribbon died with DI scattered straw and milled lavender and added a bow make from gold cord.

Clip/stitch/fastening:  I used a magnetic fastening which holds the bookmark closed and in place in the book.  I placed a piece of magnet between the image and papers on the top and the other is placed on the inside.  I left it uncovered to show that there was a fastening:

Other - flourish is Darrington Corner by Memory box.  OMGosh - I have never had a die cut just fall out of the die the way this one did!  I didn't have to poke it out or fight with it - it literally just fell out all by itself.  I will definitely be getting more Memory Box dies!  For this one, I just cut off the bits I wanted as it is a large corner die.

The team created some beautiful projects for your inspiration, so do pop by Creatalicious to check them out.  Sassy Studio Designs is providing our lucky winner with 4 digi images of their choice!  I hope you will join us this month and I look forward to seeing your creations.
