A card for the mother of our own Carol (gingerbeary8 ) Her mother is failing and in poor health. She love chocolate, angels and cats, but we were instructed to bring chocolate and no cats. Now, I have many cat stamps, but no chocolate stamps, so instead I used the dark chocolate colour. I paper pieced the dress and coloured the rest of the image with copics. I had intended to embellish this card a little more, but it looked too busy. I was also planning to put some stickles on the necklace, and just noticed I forgot. I will put them on. but I thought I would take a photo during daylight hours.

It seems as if chocolate stamps are very thin on the ground! I do believe I might have one somewhere, but I think a lot of us have been taking the colour option!! Wonderful piecing - and I have so been there about meaning to add Stickles or Liquid Pearls and not realising I hadn't till I was taking a photo.
