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:
