Say it with Chocolate


Good morning and a very happy weekend to all! Gosh, I haven't been feeling very inspired lately and my back went out a few days ago simply by taping this lovely lady onto the base of the card...unbelievable!!!! I did, however, manage to finish this birthday treat card for my son.

I purchased 6 bars of assorted chocolate for making Christmas treat cards for friends and I proceeded to hide them from hubby, as he cannot have sweets. Well, I hid them so well that I cannot find them!!!!! Looked everywhere....nothing! He swears that he did not eat them! LOL Soooo, I took one bar from an already finished Christmas card and inserted it into my son's birthday card.

I wanted to make this card sleek and simple, but sexy, and not girlie. Well, I think I kind of defeated that purpose by using pink papers and ribbon. I find it incredibly challenging to make male cards. This beautiful Saturated Canary image is colored with copics and showcased on papers from Glitz's "Pretty in Pink" collection.

Thank you for visiting my humble blog. I truly appreciate your visits. Hugs!

  18. oo-la-la!!! She's gorgeous and your coloring is amazing! I'm the same way about trying to make a masculine card, Christina! You are definitely not alone in that! :) I bet your son adores his card! And isn't it sooo frustrating when you know you have something but can't find it? Happens to me all the time with crafty supplies. I always find it as soon as I don't need it anymore. LOL!
    hugs, Sharon
