Lavendar & Chocolates

Happy Hump Day Everyone:

I know I mentioned just a couple of post ago I was going to relax on some of the challenges, but what can I say. I was pleasantly suprised when I discovered this week's color combination over at Cupcake Inspiration is purple and brown. Of course, I immediately thought lavendar and chocolates. What a wonderful combination. I love the scent of lavendar and although I am not a fan of chocolate, I do love to bake with it. I hope that doesn't sound too strange.

This card has a little bit of everything going on with it. I used my Nesties--of course; the Cuttlebug to emboss the background and to cut out the stem to form the flower; a Stampin' Up hold punch  and a few pearls to create the flower bud; I used my COPICS markers for a little airbrushing; and of course a (sentiment) stamp. Once again, I used my latest fun technique.  I sponged Memento, Rich Cocoa over brown card stock to achieve a richer shade of brown. Once again, it worked.

Don't you just love it? I know I do.

...and this is my interpretation....
