So let's see what the Design Team have been making this week...we hope you're inspired by all these great ideas with a Pancake theme...
For those of you outside the UK, Pancake Day ( also known as Shrove Tuesday) is the last day before the period which Christians call Lent and is usually the middle Tuesday in February.
It is tradition on this day to eat pancakes.
The name Shrove comes from the old word "shrive" which means to confess. On Shrove Tuesday, in the Middle Ages, people used to confess their sins so that they were forgiven before the season of Lent began. Shrove Tuesday is a day of celebration as well as penitence, because it's the last day before Lent. Throughout the UK, and in other countries too, people indulge themselves on foods that traditionally aren't allowed during Lent. Pancakes are eaten on this day because they contain fat, butter and eggs which were forbidden during Lent. History lesson over! It's a lot of fun!
Megan - I had some fun with the assignment of Pancake day, not a card. I did something I don't normally do and colored SVG Cut files. I made a fun spiral notebook with lined paper to feature the images. I used the pre-colored images from Baked with Love and Pancakes Lemon Food for the background images. I added shading with Copic markers to the stars, stack of pancakes and the word sweet, by doing this it cut my coloring time in half. The girl from Pancake and Waffle time is an SVG file I cut in white cardstock and colored with Copic markers. I added all the images on a base layer of papers from Paper Patterns-2 Winnie Daisy Fairy. The project turned out light and fun and I love it.
Copic Colors Used:
Girl Skink Tone: E000, E00, E21, E30, R20, R30
Girl Hair: E13, E17, E21
Dress, Shoes, Flowers, Sweet: RV25, RV23, RV32, Y18, Y15
Pancake, Stars: E11, E97,E99, YR12, YR14, YR21, YR14, YR18, YR04
Water Pitcher, Blueberries and Heart: B00, B02, B63, B29
Kim S - Happy Pancake Day! This adorable fox is ready for a stack (or two!) of pancakes. A perfect card for spreading some cheer on this delicious holiday. My paper selections come from Theo Penguin ll papers 1, papers 2, and Winnie Daisy Fairy 2 collections. It's all about Clean and Simple for me today. I chose Freddy the Fox as the centre attraction for this Pankcake Day card I created. I coloured in pastel's(no surprise there) which really pop against the reddish brown fur colour. What are you working on at the start of this new year? Anything fun or exciting? We'd love to see!
Betsy - Hello everyone! With winter well under way I wanted to make a snowman card that embraced pink! I composed and printed out my image which is the Snowmen Frosty Hug digital stamp set. I colored the elements with Copic markers, then fussy cut the images and then went around the edges with a black marker. I cut my background paper to fit an A2 size card and used a 3D embossing folder to give the card more texture. I added glitter glue to the pom poms and band on the hat. I mounted the 2 little birds on a die cut piece of white glitter card stock. Using the same glitter card stock, I die cut a border and adhered it to the base of the snowmen. I adhered those images down flat and then added tiny iridescent gems around the embossed hearts!
Copic colors used: YR15, YR04, YR07, YR00, R81, R83, R85, R37, B0000, B000, B00, B02, W2, W3, W5, C1, C3, C5, C7
Jenny - I am gifting the neighbors with a pancake basket and needed a tag to go along with it so I created one using the Polkadoodles digital Pancake Time adorable girl and the perfect sentiment from the Polkadoodles Pancakes and Waffles greeting bundle.
I colored the image using Copic markers: E29, E53, E00, E21, E000, E25, E35, B24, B12, B28, B26, C0, C3, Y11, Y06, R22, RV10
Jane – Happy New Year everyone, it will be Pancake Day before you know it LOL and that is the team’s theme for today. So I have decorated a gift bag using a B/W image and pre-coloured ephemera from the PANCAKES & WAFFLES download bundle. The paper is from the CELEBRATIONS paper pack.
Candace - For today's challenge project, the theme is Pancake Day! I used the image Flipping Pancakes, the sentiment from Pancakes and Waffles, Posydoodles Circle dies and pattern paper from Winnie Daisy Fairy and Work & Play 10.
