Guest Designer: Iron Craft | Pretty Pink Posh

Fact: I truly dislike cooking, but I can’t seem to turn away from any cooking tv shows.

I am such a sucker for Top Chef, Master Chef, Chopped, along with many others. Another favorite: Iron Chef. The concept of this show is so neat- they highlight one particular ingredient and then the chefs compete to see who can use it the most creatively. While the show is over-the-top in regards to sound effects and the chairman’s facial expressions, I still love the premise of the show.

A little while back Chaitali contacted me asking if I would be interested in joining along in her Iron Craft challenge, which is similar to Iron Chef in its premise. Each week she has a special guest join her and each person uses the same stamp set/ colors/ sketch/ photo and creates something. Over the last few weeks she has had some of my favorite crafters join her- I am so very honored she asked me to be among them. {Though I also got nervous since I am nowhere in the same league as many of them! The pressure was so great!}

Here’s the inspiration photo and sketch we decided to base our cards off of…

I could not make the sketch look right, so I decided to flip it and voila! Just switching the layout completely got me back on track and I was able to whip up this card. I have to confess something: stamping with these strawberries definitely brought out cravings– thankfully this one was a healthy one!

I had so much fun creating for this challenge! With a busy schedule, I just haven’t been able to find time to create for a challenge other than my own, so this was a nice change of pace. Be sure to stop by Chaitali’s blog and see what she created!
