This card is for today's color challenge(CC233). Thanks, Peggy for a fabulous color combo. I love everything kraft lately. This card is also for the Verve monthly sketch challenges with a twist. We are to use our favorite colors. Well, chocolate chip, kraft, red, and cream are in my tops.
I am using Verve Budding Blossoms stamp set and Thoughtful Florals for the sentiment. I did add a touch of some ripe avocado ink then I rocked and rolled some dark chocolate onto the edges to soften the look.
I stamped the kraft background panel with vintage cream using the SU en francaise bg. I let it dry and sponged the edges with some dark chocolate.
These colors are making me think of chocolate covered cherries. Oh, dear!!!
I added a few gold pearls for accents and a sentiment.

I ALWAYS admire your cards Betty and for some reason I don't seem to have an opportunity to comment on them much. I stopped everything I was doing so I could at last tell you what an AWESOME gallery and talent you have. LOVE your work. This card is no exception - Beautifully clean, yet full of layers, textures and colors!! Wow, magnificent!! TFS!
