Brilliant!

I think Sam's theme over on Lots to Do is absolutely Brilliant!  She gives a link to some well known chocolate bars and you choose one of them and use those colours in your work.  Obviously you have to use the colours of green and black but then you have the fun of putting another colour with them.

Not really my favourite, if I am being honest, but my first card is "cherry".  For this one I stamped with Ranger's Perfect Medium and then went over with Perfect Pearls 'Forever Green'.  I just don't use my PP's enough, apart from on my claywork, and I am going to make it a resolution to use them more as they are lovely especially when they catch the light.  It's a shame it doesn't show up in the scan.  The  background was run through my Cuttlebug and then I swiped over it with a Moss Green Mica Pad.



Got a bit carried away with this Challenge this morning and produced this next card for the Butterscotch flavour.  Again not my favourite but an ideal opportunity to use my Alcohol Inks.  This time I used Lettuce and Butterscotch (obviously) for my background.  I do love this stamp but cannot for the life in me think who it is by.



My third and final card actually does use my favourite type of chocolate - White.  Definitely a Milky Bar Kid.  I remember using this image a couple of years ago and one of my friends, Anne, liked it so much she went and bought some of the American Art stamps over the internet.  She never told me how many she bought though.
I used my Twinkling H2o's to colour the olives in and then decided to give her an emerald necklace and a greeny-yellow flower in her hair (Lemongrass).



Oh, sorry Cath - another PO at the top!
