Stamping Royalty Recipe Challenge - FABRIC

2012-01-11T00:00:00.002-05:00

This week's Stamping Royalty challenge is a Recipe Challenge using Fabric.    I am so not a fabric person.   It probably has to do with the fact I need to learn how to purchase a sewing machine and actually learn how to use it!    So I decided to use fabric ribbon on my project instead.   I adhered the ribbon on the border.   Then I used the Petite Pennants punch to use it as a pattern to cut out the pennants out of the fabric ribbon.

Here are photos from last summer when we went to Show Time Ice Cream Parlor in LBI.   It is the best place.    It is a ice cream and a show.    The waiter and waitresses sing bringing your ice cream to the table and then pick someone at the table to sing a few lines as well.    The kids fear the whole time if they are going to be chosen.   You should see them trying to figure out which item on the menu will be the least likely for them to be chosen.

For those of you who are going to ask, the cherry was completely free formed cut out.

The challenge will be open until 3:00pm (PST) Monday, January 16th. Hope you can join us!

Stamp Sets: Sweet Cake
Ink: Real Red, Chocolate Chip, Old Olive
Paper: Real Red Patterns Designer Series Paper, Real Red, Old Olive, Chocolate Chip, Whisper White
