Carrots, Cake and Mom

Back again!

This 1st project will be entered into the ScorPal Challenge, Easter Or Spring.

I followed along a tutorial by Twila at SplitCoast Stampers, Carrot Treat Box.

I can't tell you the scoring marks as they are not standard except for the first one, 

which is on the diagonal of a 6 x 6 inch square piece of card stock.  Then they get a bit wonky, but it's easy to follow along.  There are 4 score marks in all.  There is a photo tutorial and a video for great directions.

Check it out!  They are really cuuuuute!

I thought the Orange and White Designer Paper would make for a super cute carrot!

Look at that cake....doesn't it look scrumptious???

Using Versa Mark ink and Black Embossing Powder I heat set the image and sentiments. 

I then water colored the image using my Zig Markers.

MFT Party Banner, layered.
