Apron Strings Cookout Challenge Week 2

The Apron Strings Blog is having a Cookout Challenge this month.  This week the challenge was to choose ingredients for an ice cream Sunday.  Each day those choices gave you different crafty items to play with.
I chose Chocolate Ice cream, Brownie Bites, Straberry Sauce, Whipped Cream and Maraschino Cherries. On Tuesday I had to use chocolate cardstock, mist paint or ink, something bright red, die cut and transparency.  I used Operation Write Home Sketch #180 as my starting point.  It was tough stampin on the transparency with StazOn ink I finally got it on the 3rd try.

 On Wednesday I had to use pattern paper with brown in it, red cardstock, rinestones, canvas embellishments and cardstock stickers.  I had to look up what a cardstock sticker was but I actually had some in one of my Apron Strings All Year Cheer Card kits.  It is hard to see but there are little rinestones on the corner cardstock stickers.

On Thursday I had to use an effect (emboss/deboss, foiled etc), twill trim, a pocket, grosgrain trim and flowers. 

On Friday I had to use Polka Dot ribbon, wood embellishment, 3 tags, a word (rub on, chipboard or diecut) and swirls.  

I think Friday's card is my favorite of the bunch.  I am also entering this card in the Inkspirational challenge #28.  It is a photo challenge.    All the red and the polka-dot and the fact that lady birds fly just fit with this card.

 I had fun playing and used stuff from my Apron Strings All Year Cheer Card kits from January through May. I have kept my kits together but it was fun mixing and matching items from different kits.  

Happy Crafting!
