For this week's MMTPT challenge, since I don't have many, if any, chocolate-themed stamps I decided to bring Willamena in person - she's recyled her sculpture disaster into an elegantly iced cake with dark and light chocolate ganache.
Seems like the only time I get to the sketch challenge these days is on a day off - it was perfect for the MMTPT challenge, thanks Ally .
DH was messing around with a couple of backgrounders trying them out on some of his origami architecture, so I recycled his experiments into this. Image stamped on watercolour paper and coloured with pencils. I added Glossy Accents to the cake - any self-respecting ganache has a wonderful sheen to it. I tried a banner, but switched it out for chocolate coloured ribbon.

Now there is a temptation here if I ever saw one! I want cake!

You are so clever to bring Willamena! Love your soft coloring and I love her pearl earring! Your gold die cut and star look so cool and remind me of the foil wrappers used for some chocolates! Great take on the sketch too!!!

What an amazing card with so many things that work together to make it fabulous. It's the tiny details that really catch my attention and grab it - the gloss of the ganache, the tiny touches of red in the image to repeat the theme of the gingham, the eyeshadow!, and the wee pearl earring!!!!!! Fun creation, TFS!

Oh, Sabrina, absolutely LOVE your diva chef with an award winning dark and light chocolate ganache! Seems she has gone all out to make this extra special for Rita! The "kitchen" touches of the gingham tablecloth and the lace trim just make your card super special - it will brighten Rita's day, for sure!! Hugs!
