You picked a fun challenge, Judy! So many ways you could just take the plunge into chocolate. I rambled down a couple of paths before deciding on the big mouth guy from Purple Onion Designs...take a look.
I don't use my big mouth guy enough! I mean he could announce just about anything...so today he is shouting to just EAT MORE...chocolate that is. I stamped him in espresso Adirondack ink on top of the Queen's Dresser Drawers ledger unmounted stamp. I used latte on that image directly to GP white cs. The eat more are two different fonts, the More in TH di fired brick is from Starving Artistamps while the eat is a font called 'Hopscotch' (a Ma Vinci, I think) inked with Adirondack red pepper. The Prescription/red cross is another stamp from Purple Onion which was inked using TH di broken china and the fired brick again. The date and year, someone should recognize!!! The Chocolate label is clip art from a book called Instant Memories 'Birthday's'. It is cut and popped on foam. A piece of fancy French trim adds texture to the top. I cuttled parts of the bg with the Arygle ef and used ChalkBox inks to distress. This is mounted onto a Bazzill color called lakeshore.
So I'd love to hear how you think I did with the chocolate challenge. I'm just a white chocolate kind of girl, so I'll save all the rest for you!
