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.

Wow... so very pretty!!! Love all the details, especially the tiny scallop border and the thin black matte between the swiss dot panel and the border!!

Love how you've used this Verve sketch, Betty!! See you got your new Verve as well. Lovely job using this flower, the colours from the CC, bling in the middle of the flower is perfect as is the layering of the main image. Great card!
