With so many things that make me smile I found it difficult to come up with a card on the theme “Big Smiles” for a challenge in a group I belong to on FB. Then I got tempted and reached for the chocolate – you can see the result below –

I’m entering this card in the following challenges:
- Stamping Dragon Designs – Stamping Dragons Fun Challenge 6 – BIG SMILES
- Artistic Inspirations – Challenge 40 – Monotone
- Divas by design! – Anything goes
- Rupert Banner by Janette Padley and Delicious Chocolates by Marie Wolman (I chose the digi-stamp first for this project and took it into one of my graphics packages to re-size it. I also took in various elements from the chocolate digital kit. I re-sized, moved around and layered up until I was happy with my layout for a topper of around 7″ square. The topper was then printed out onto 300gsm Super Smooth white cardstock before I coloured in the digi, and did a bit of shading around the edge of the chocolate elements using my ProMarkers. The colours I used were: Sandstone, Tan, March Hare. I then cut out the topper, leaving a small border of around 3mm of the white card-stock as a faux layer before sticking to the front of an 8″ square, cream, Crafty Bob card using finger-lift tape. I finished off by going over the running chocolate on the top left chocolate lolly with a Clear Glaze Sakura pen and over the sprinkles on the cupcake with a gold glitter gel pen.)
