This is post #4 for today - make sure to scroll down!
OK here it is! It's a good think I took a break. I was beyond frustrated earlier with all my technical difficulties!!
I had to pull out anotherMy Cute Stamps set - it's just a given that I would have to own the Sweet Chocolate set! I am a self-confessed chocoholic - and at least these are fat and sugar free *wink*
I stamped the images with VersaMark onto vanilla cardstock then embossed them with (get this) - CHOCOLATE scented embossing powder. How cool is that? It just makes you want to eat the card (however I did resist - I love chocolate but I'm not that crazy LOL!).
I colored the strawberries in with my Copics, and stamped and embossed the little chocolates and colored those as well before cutting them out.
The main image was cut out with a long rectangle nestabilities die then matted with a long scalloped rectangle.
The patterned paper is the new Basic Grey Bittersweet - I stitched it onto the card with my sewing machine (I've had it upstairs while I've attempted to make some curtains and was too lazy to go up there every time I wanted to sew on a card! I finally gave up (for now) on the curtains and put the machine back in my studio where it belongs!). I used more of my new May Arts ribbon, and some mini brads to finish off the card front.
I finished off the inside by lining it with the rest of the one paper I used on the front, then added a scalloped rectangle cut from a scrap of vanilla cardstock (this time using the regular scalloped rectangle dies).
I stamped the one heart shaped chocolate in the cottom corner, embossed it with the chocolate EP then colored it in with the same Copics and that was it!
