Welcome, all! Today is my day to post over on the Lollipop Ladies blog for the current challenge:
Macaroons
with the added twist of ribbons
What really caught my attention in this photo was that dark brown macaroon right in the center. I took that as my starting base and added in some of the other fall colors (orange and cream).
I used this adorable image from Birdie Brown (it's free if you use it in the monthly challenge). I printed it out on kraft paper and colored it with markers; I've really been liking the look when I have seen it on other blogs. Then I glued on some raffia for the "straw" hair and cut out the hat and the pumpkin from a second sheet and popped them up with foam tape to give some added dimension. Cute, huh?
And here is the inside of my card:
So, hop on over to the Lollipop Ladies Blog for all the details and then come play along.
