One more Easter card

Hello there everyone, and here's wishing you all a Happy Easter, and maybe some nice weather to go along with it!  If Mother Nature doesn't want to cooperate, hopefully some nice chocolate treats will chase the winter blues away.


I played with some nice soft spring colours for this little sweetie from Saturated Canary, but my mind was fixated on chocolate when I chose the papers for this card.  I started with the chocolate brown mat that I cut with the Spellbinders Romantic Rectangles die, and then I found these papers from MME to tie everything together.  The sentiment is from Whimsy stamps and I cut it out using the Fancy Framed Tags die, again from Spellbinders.  If you look closely, you will notice that I've rubbed some gold on to the brown for some added interest.
