Today I bring you a card that launches yet another, new adventure in the world of card challenges. I am jumping in to the Card Concept Challenge. Here they provide an image to inspire your card making creativity.

Doesn’t this image just make you want to dive right in and eat everything in it! Oh my goodness, the decadence.

This is what I was able to come up with. This card falls into a couple of categories, I think. Clean and Simple potentially meets Clean & Graphic. It is really hard to define my style overall, but I think this is what I have for challenge.

Where did my mind take me? Well the key words for me were Hearts, Chocolate, Brown, Raspberry (color and berry), Pink, Icing, fluffy texture – something to emulate the layers of icing. The touch of green for the leaves also needs representation. I went to Stampin’ Up! Nothings Better Than Bundle for the chocolate using Early Espresso and Soft Suede ink pad, Berry Blessings Stamp offer up the raspberries stamped in Melon Mambo the leaves give the extra punch of color in Granny Apple Green, Stitched be Mine dies bring in the hearts in Early Espresso, Melon Mambo card stock and ink, the Painted Texture 3D embossing folder portrays the icing. I think the “icing” looked best on Basic White cardstock while the Pink, green and Brown could be carried out best through Ink and die cuts.

Thanks again for stopping by and spending a bit of your time with me. I hope you enjoyed learning about how this card came together. Hopefully you were even inspired just a bit. Below are pictured links to all the items used for this card, click the link of the item to be taken to my online store where you can learn more about each item. I will return soon with something new. Until then, stay safe, stay healthy and without doubt, keep on crafting, exploring and creating.
