Mmmmmmm, Choc ....

.... olate!!!

A very clever challenge on Basic Grey Challenges this week:

"As it's Easter on Sunday, we thought we would have a challenge inspired by all those lovely chocolate treats you will be scoffing into heehee, so this week we would like you to take inspiration from your favourite Chocolates :), so say your favourite chocolate is Mint chocolate, well you could then base the colours of your card on this so your card would be Brown and Green :), sounds scrumptious doesn't it, I cant wait to see you chocolate inspired creations this week, but please don't forget to use at least one item from BasicGrey on your creation."

I'm not a huge choccie fan, but if I "have" to, I'll force myself to eat a Mint Aero (ha ha!!). So here is my Mint Aero inspired card. Basic Grey papers used are Bittersweet and Periphery.

The lighting is abysmal, as we're having a very soggy day, it's like November out there. I ain't moving outside the door for anything or anyone!!!!

Thanks for looking!

Mmmm mint aero, I love it, but I'm also partial to just about every other kind of choc too, unfortunately! Your card is so beautiful. I love the design and papers you chose and the image is wonderful. Glad you could join us at BG this week. Chris x
