Mmmmmm Chocolate!

Mmmmm Chocolate...that says it all doesn't it? ;o) It really just makes things better sometimes.

For Jellypark Challenges, the challenge this week is to make the SENTIMENT KEY. I liked this....so here's what I came up with:

Here's a closer look at the sentiment and stamp from Close to My Heart "A Chocolate Affair" set.

Since I wanted the sentiment to take center stage, I layered different shades of brown. I kept the embellies simple, again to keep the sentiment key. The ribbon and gems are from Recollections.

I'd like to enter the following challenges:

Creative Knockouts Challenge #3- Texturize it!

For Creative Knockouts Challenge #3, the theme this week is TEXTURIZE IT!

We want to see dry/heat embossing, textured papers, embossing folders...anything that you use to add texture to your creations!

Our lovely sponsor this week is:

 Delicious Doodles

We had beautiful images supplied to us and I got to work with Earth Mother.

Here's my card for this week:

I colored the image with SN Markers. I went with another favorite color combo- Purple and Green. Since it was TEXTURE theme, I embossed the base card with Polka Dots EF from Embossalicious and inked it with turquoise pigment ink from Color Box. I then stamped areas with Versamark and heat embossed it with Eggplant Pearl EP from Recollections.  I then used netting to add more texture to my card. I layered that with Turquoise CS embossed with Grunge Stripe EF from  Craft  Concepts and stamped the raised outlines with turquoise ink.  I layered that with another turquoise CS embossed in Circles EF from Cuttlebug, which was heat embossed with Kaleidoscope EP from Stamp N Stuff.

Still with me? ;o) I then layered the image with Turquoise and Purple textured CS from American Crafts with pop dots.

Here's a closer look at the image:

This week at Craft Your Passion Challenges the theme for Challenge #180 is

AUTUMN COLORS!

STAMP FAIRY

I had the pleasure of working with "Molly Throughout the Year September" Digi.

 

 

I colored the sweet image with SN Markers and used the Circle die from Spellbinders and layered that onto the largest Fleur de Lis Square die cut in orange CS. 

 

I cut out leaves using Cuttlebugs Daisy Kit and My Favorite Things Upsy Daisy Die-namics in different autumn colors. I wanted it to look as it she was throwing them up in the air, as she is in the image.

 

Cardstock is from Recollections & the DP of the leaves is leftover from my scraps stash. I used bling is yellow and red for accents. The "FALL" stickers are also from my stash.
