PIO - food

Good morning eveyone!

today at pile it on we have a new challenge

"Food"

and we are sponsored by MilkCoffee who is offering a prize of 5 digis!!

Good luck to everyone who enters

here is my card:

for my inspiration I used a free image here from milk coffee

she has the cutest images... you really need to check them out

I used my new cuttlebug embossing folder that i won on Ebay... seriously that site can get someone in trouble.  If only the shipping to Canada didn't kill... i am thinking a mailing box in the states might be worth it??? anyone do that. i am a 45 min drive from Nigara falls... so i might just check it out

here are some more close ups.  I used CTMH liquid glass to show the liquid.

I have been inspired by all the challenges out there to show your country colours

if you can't tell by now I am Canadian - True north strong and free.  But some times I wish that we had one more colour to play with... maybe... pink... no other country has that. lol... i dont think the rest of the country would be too happy with me... lol

hey everyone...
please excuse my photos for this card, I took it with my iPad so it is good but not a bright or cropped as i am use to.  If you know of a good app for photo crops and colour let me know. 
so... I was completely inspired by basic grey no stamps challenge.
here is my card...

i used fiskars rubbing plates to emboss in my cuttle bug.

my copics to give the bee a bit of shadow around him.
