Hello everyone: One of my fondest childhood memories is of my amazing maternal grandmother, she came to live with us when I was about 10 years old, she loved to bake and we grandkids enjoy her delicious loaves of bread and cakes, cookies and pies, our house was always smelling fabulous, she taught me how to bake with yeast, which I think is fascinating, I love it. So now, of course, I spoil my grandkids with lots of baked goodies, sometimes I get a text with a request from my now older grandkids, for a cake or cookies, which I always very happily fulfill😉
So this little apron brings back some of these memories of my grandma, baking goodies for all of us grandkids.
This image is from a very old Flourishes set called "Fresh Baked", came out back in 2012, all the images are beautifully detailed and yummy too.
I stamped the apron on a scrap piece of Lili of the Valley pattern paper with Stazon black ink, colored the trim with Rose Red marker and fussy cut it. I put a couple of pieces of Scotch tape in the back to give the paper a bit more strength, especially on the apron strings and the spoon on the pocket.
The wooden spoon was stamped on white card stock and colored with Prismacolor pencils, then fussy cut the same way. The ribbon is from my stash and the sentiment from the set.

This is how the INSIDE of my card looks like.
The lace trim on the top is from a retired SU set called "Delicate Details", the sentiment and cookie from the Flourishes set.
I want to play with the following challenges.
"Pink and White"
Favorite Birthday or Christmas and why?
On both of those celebrations, we enjoyed my grandma's baking goodies.
Buttons or Enamel Dots.

So that's a Flourishes set? Gosh, there were some cute ones, weren't there? This is seriously adorable with the perky apron and the wooden spoon, plus the perfect sentiment. I love that you paper pieced and colored the apron, which gives it such a cute pattern. Perfect ribbon for your card.
