Inspired by Chocolate

Another VSN card for you today (and I have a feeling you'll be seeing these for a few days - lol!). This card was made for Sara's (sarahenton) Chocolate Box of Love Challenge - to make a card inspired by a pretty, old chocolate box she has pictured. The box is just so detialed and beautiful - there are so many things you could take from it! I chose to use the general layout of the box for my card and used Sending You Love from Paper Pretties for the image.

I seem to be on a Kraft cardstock kick lately . . . it just goes with everything! :) I masked off the image and sponged on some wall color behind Sophia. I was pretty excited to use some big heart brads that I've had forever. Such a fun challenge!

Ok, so here's some Prettie News:

Paper Pretties is turning 2, and there is a big celebration!! Woo Hoo! It all starts Thursday, Jan 22 with a blog hop starting at Christie's blog! You DO NOT want to miss this!! Paper Pretties is releasing a new set, re-releasing Sealed with a Kiss in rubber (LOVE that!!) and each Prettie Girl will be giving you a peak of the newest Stamp of the Month! The fun will continue for 3 whole days culminating in our party in the forum on the 25th at 8pm EST. We'll be announcing our grand prize winner of a 6 month Stamp of the Month subscription and giving away one of our new stamp sets to another lucky winner. We'll have prizes every 1/2 hour during the party BUT you have to be there to win! Also, everyone who orders on the 25th OR joins the Stamp of the Month club will receive a free roll of American Crafts ribbon! How AWESOME is that!
