I hope everyone has been able to enjoy the wonderful weather today! This morning I treated myself to my weekly indulgence of a visit to our local Farmer's Market - I love to soak up the amazing array of tastes and smells offered by local producers, and of course to support their businesses. I treated my family to the must sumptious dressed crab, freshly caught off the Dorset coast yesterday - delish!
So from the savoury onto some sweetness:
This is the current (mouth-watering!) colour challenge at Stamp With Us, and here is my take on it:
Colours used are Chocolate Chip, Close to Cocoa and Creamy Caramel - an equally mouth-watering sounding combination! Image is from Soft Summer, stamped on Very Vanilla cardstock and coloured with Copic markers, edges sponged with Close to Cocoa ink.
This is a joy-fold card, the scalloped circle holds the front of the card intact, when opened it looks like this:
I stamped the En Francais backgrounder on Creamy Caramel cardstock with Close to Cocoa ink, then sponged all the edges with the same ink.
Thanks for visiting, time for an evening walk with the dogs I think!
Recipe:
Stamps - Soft Summer/Circle of Friendship/En Francais backgrounder
Ink - Close to Cocoa/Chocolate Chip
Card - Very Vanilla/Close to Cocoa/Creamy Caramet/Chocolate Chip
Other - Chocolate Chip grosgrain ribbon/Copic markers/scalloped and 1 3/8 circle punches/sponges/rectangle nestabilities/adhesive pearls
