Chocolate and Cream...

Happy Monday,

I came home from the Hochanda shows a couple of weeks ago with the idea for this card in my head and as soon as I got time I sat down to make it.  I have to admit wicket the colour choice may not be to everyones taste i simply love the finished result!

I stared by cutting the Gerbera Lattice panel from chocolate card extending the pattern by fitting the die back in and recutting.  I placed this over a piece of white card that I had added double sided adhesive to and added micro beads to add texture.  I used the Crafts Too card candy die to cut circles of the adhesive ( this die is perch as the circles are the exact shape and size for the centre of the gerbera daisies. I added micro beads to these adding more layers of texture.

I then framed the background using the Press Cut hexagon dies which are perfect as they are thin meaning I can get nice mats and layers form one set!  I used the white and the chocolate foam mounting between each layers to add depth.  I placed this piece on a layer of the chocolate embossed with the daisy lattice A4 embossing folder from Crafts too adding string pearls arround the embossed layer and the largest Hexagon frame.

I then stamped the gerbera daisy clear stamp in brown ink onto white and cut it out with the matching die, giving me 6 flowers in one stamp and die cut  I layers them together too make 3 flowers adding more of the micro beads in the centres.  I cut the matching leaves from chocolate and then white shading the white leaves with the same brown ink.


I made up the spray as shown on the bottom left with a few, ok 6, hatpins to finish.


I hope you like this it is one of my new faves!

Enjoy...
