Pink and green - Yummy!

Well I am really happy today. My 11 yr old boy who is not at all interested in my card making said this morning "Mummy that is the best card you have ever made, I even like it!!!" Well, I nearly fainted. Perhaps, it is the fact that the card is food orientated and yummy that caught his attention.....who knows, but it was one of those lovely moments.

I have entered this card into the CRAFT challenge #10 this week and they wanted something pink and green. Also, I have been very brave and entered my card into the Bitten by the Bug challenge which wanted the word yummy somewhere on the card. So I thought why not, go for it and enter 2 challenges in one go. I cut the melon on my Cricut with my CDS to weld the melon together to make the shaped card out of the Stretch Your Imagination cartridge. Those of you who know me know that I love my Cricut to make shaped cards and anything pink (hence my blog name). The pink and white spotted card stock is from my favourite shop Flutterby Crafts and is by 3 Bugs in a Rug. I used some glitter card and ribbon from my stash. I then took a punch to take the nibble out of the melon and added the Kaiser pearls. Finally I computer generated the greeting. Hope you like it as much as my 11yr old son!
