This is for the WT517 to use stuff from the kitchen, and the MIX106 to use bright colors on a love themed card. When I saw the word "cook" on Sabrina's fun WT517 challenge, I panicked. I have mentioned this favorite quote of mine before - "the only reason I have a kitchen is because it came with the house". My sons and dh were soooo excited when they say me looking around the kitchen... visions of home baked goodies danced in their heads. What a let down when they figured out what I was really doing. I did a little adjustment to the shaving cream bkg technique. Sometimes I have a little mental lapse and actually believe that fat free foods can taste like the real thing. That is why I had a large can of fat free whip cream in the refridgerator. I covered a large piece of aluminum foil with whip cream, dropped food coloring drops onto it, swirled the colors with a fork and smooshed my card stock into it. Let it absorb for a few minutes , then scrape off the whip cream with a butter knife. WHAT A HUGE, FLUFFY MESS!!! You can make a lot of bkgs for your stash and you feel like you are back in kindergarten. Using copics and prisma pencils, I colored the image in similar colors. I like to keep "I love you" cards on hand to leave for my dh if he is stressed or having a bad day, so this was perfect to add the "love" die cut for the MIX106 challenge. Well, I might have to stop at the bakery to get some goodies for my family since they can't eat this card. TFL, Francie

Whipped cream worked great here and your card is really cute, used food color on flowers on time and did good job---always see what you have on hand as will work out great most of the time.
