Happy Valentine's Day! My card today is the one that I made for my husband, he knows I love him an awful lot if it is more than chocolate (especially dark chocolate). Where are all my dark chocolate lovers? So I knew this card would mean a lot to him, if I picked him over a nice chunk of dark chocolate. I started with the nothings better than bundle. Such an adorable set! I wanted to make the pieces of chocolate look like they were wrapped in gold foil, kind of like the ferrero rocher (not really sure how to day it let alone spell it). Anyway, that was what I set out to do with the gilded leafing. I first stamped the outline of the chocolate and then used a little multipurpose liquid glue, let that get a little tacky and then rubbed a few pieces of gold.
It didn't really turn out the way that I had envisioned but I like it anyway. I tried with solid piece that comes in the stamp set (suppose to be the second layer) but it was too solid and you could not see the image.
The next thing I wanted to do was make the word chocolate stand out so I watercolored it and then when dry added shimmery crystal effects for some shine! Look how gorgeous it turned out!
I really wanted the chocolate to be the star and so I kept the rest of the card pretty simple. It was such a fun card to make. I hope you have a great Valentine's day and that you get lots of chocolate! I will be back soon with another fun card!
Don't forget about the fun new bundles and the new paper punpkin!
