Not sure if I can do this as this card is up for 2 other challenges but it definately fits in with the Challenge today....chocolate....so thought I would just 'throw it in'!! Hope that is okay!!!
I was inspired by both the Inspirational Challenge and the Featured Stamper so combined the challenges...I haven't done a 'Featured Stamper' Challenge yet, so I am hoping that the adaptions I have made are fine.
The colours in 'Felted 2' are the main inspiration for this, I love the different browns, the colours are so rich. I have used a recycled card as my DP, this was a favourite as soon as I saw it and knew I would use it one day....I love it that at least one of the chocolates are leaf shaped....
You may look at it and wonder 'how did she arrive at this'...don't think that I haven't wondered myself, it was a process, but basically the changes I have made are:
1. Flipped the layout onto it's side
2. Different DP
3. Different image, also lowering the circle
4. Used straight lines on layered card not scalloped
5. Instead of round embellishment at the base of the card, I used 2 eyelets either side of the image
I also cut the DP into jigsaw pieces and offset and 3Ded one piece to work in with the sentiment of the image (a suggestion by my DH). This image was from a RAK sent to me from Suleika...I love it! Dimensional Magic was also used on the cake icing to make it lovely an glossy...fudge-like.....yumbly!!
Thanks for looking, I hope you like it....I have really appreciated all of your comments and encouragement...thank you!!

Super cute and yummy.... I love chocolate, now I want some... Wonderful colouring, love how you did the frosting on the cake, and also made the dp into puzzle pieces. Great job with the challenges. tfs

You cut the jigsaw pieces yourself!!! I thought for sure you'd used one of those dies that does it for you. I tossed a chocolate box just last week after thinking I probably could use it, but probably wouldn't. They weren't as classy chocs as yours - look at that one with music on it!
Lovely card.
