Festive Food for the CCC!

Hello Everyone, and welcome to another Christmas Card Club Challenge, and this time the choice of theme is Festive Food, chosen by Loraine.

Now I had to give this challenge a wee bit of thought, as the only image I have is a LOTV  one used every time this theme comes up and I didn't want to go with that, so I went on the hunt through all my stash and came up with this;
I found this Christmas Pudding in amongst some papers from a craft magazine, sorry don't know which one or what year, but I thought it might do, and there was extra interest as there was a wee bit of decoupage  with the brandy sauce pouring down the pud. a bit of sparkle and some sequins to finish.

Now my second card is perhaps stretching the theme a bit, see what you think;
I don't know about you but I think of Chocolate as Food, and wish I could eat more of it than is allowed having diabetes. I found this LOTV image and it does look more Valentine than Christmas, but I decided to go with it, especially as there is always loads of Chocolate around at Christmas time, in our house anyway as Alistair adores the stuff.
i have a few Copics and that's what I used to colour the image and a wee bit of Sparkle Pen/ The papers are from SU and the sentiment was made on the computer.

Thanks for the super challenge Lorraine, I enjoyed it and got to use up some stash from yonks ago and a stamp that I don't used much, I hope they will do.

Scheduling this for tomorrow, Sunday when the challenge goes live, so check out what my teammates create too.

Thank you all for the lovely comments on my last card, so much appreciated.

Been awful weather again today, I've not been over the door, and poor Teallach has dashed out and back in. Cheerio for now and see you soon,

Very fun food related cards! I really like how you were able to go through your stash and find fun things! I often don’t use the magazine images enough. I should try harder.
