My first card is a birthday card that I made for our school lunch lady. I used Happy Chef's body and transplanted Teacher Anya's head onto it. There is a lot more sparkle than the picture shows. I am not a great photographer and I have been experimenting with my photo's. I want more depth and texture to show so I have been taking my pictures with no flash and an OTT light as the main lighting source. I think the texture and popped up parts are showing better, but it doesn't capture the sparkle as well.

Stamp: Happy Chef, Teacher Anya - The Greeting Farm
Paper: Imaginisce, Rose Red, Lovely Lilac (I think) ,PTI White
Copics:
Skin: R00,E00,E11,R20
Hair: E50,E53,E55

Cake: Y000,BV01,BV02,B01,R85
Misc: Taylor's Tiny Twinkles, Stardust Stickles, Fiskars Corner Punch, EK Success Border Punch
I used Taylored Expressions Sketch #87 for my second card. When I was making this, at different stages I kept thinking something was missing and so I would show my DH who would say,"Yep, something's missing." After about the third time he looked over my shoulder and said,"It needs more macaroni." I need to slap him!!

Love your cards today, Happy Chef and Teacher Anya go so well together, you'd think that was the original stamp if you didn't know otherwise. Such a pretty Card. Love the sparkle, really shows up when you look at the larger picture.
