Lovin' The Chocolate
This is my card for the HM & Friends Challenge #103 - No Cookin' Recipe Card. I had a lot of fun with this one and knew exactly which stamp set and recipe I was going to use when I read the challenge on the blog. I have never made a pocket card before so I found the single pocket card directions in the SCS Resources.
The HM stamps I used are Chocolate Delight, Jumpin' For Joy & I Love Chocolate. They were all colored with copic markers. I used spellbinders dies to cut out the main images and the bg ovals as well. I sponged SU creamy caramel around the mice, pixie pink around the sentiment with regal rose on the fancy oval behind it & close to cocoa around the recipe. The dp is from SU along with chocolate chip & pixie pink cs. The ribbon came from Michaels, I think, and the brown brad is from Bo Bunny. The recipe I'm sharing is one that I usually make when I'm doing my Xmas baking.
I've been on vacation for 2 weeks now and have thoroughly enjoyed them. We have had really nasty weather for the most part over June, July & August and now that Sept. has arrived we are having some really hot and beautiful days. Maybe this is our summer now? Anyway, I will enjoy whatever we get even if it is from looking out the office window.
I hope everyone is having a wonderful weekend. Thanks for stopping by and taking a look at my blog.
