I’m sure that you too have had all those email survey’s and one question that comes up a lot is the ‘Chocolate or Vanilla?’ So what happens if you’re like me and like both? There are days when one really needs Chocolate (bit like today!) and other days when Vanilla hits the spot.
I recently made this card for a swap for our Stampin’ Up! team. It was a swap where we had to use one of the new sets and I used the Occasional Greetings set.
Recipe:
Stamps: Occassional Greetings, Baroque Motifs
Cardstock: Berry Bliss DSP, Chocolate Chip, Pretty in Pink , Very Vanilla
Ink: Close to Cocoa, Versamark
Accessories: Chocolate Chip 5/8″ grosgrain, gold brads, stampin dimensionals.
Now when I normally make swaps I figure I may as well make a couple extra cards to use for samples or to send to someone (as one does with a card). So when making up my spares I ran out of the Chocolate Chip ribbon and thought hmm … what to do. I did have some Vanilla wide grosgrain I could use and thought it may be a bit too light for the card.
Well I put it together and thought … mmmm I think I like this better!
So you see although we think that chocolate cures all there are some times that vanilla works just as well!
Time for a coffee – have a great day!
Hi Leonie, love the new look, especially the header. Love the cards too, I actually prefer the vanilla one, which is almost heresy for a chocolate lover, but there you go!
Love them Leonie, just proving again how clever you are!
I think the chocolate ribbon looks a little better than the vanilla. I think the boldness of the choc ribbon definitely divides the upper and lower portion of the card better than the vanilla does. I think they are both wonderful cards!!! 🙂
hey this looks great. The image at the top left however, isn’t displaying for me even though I have refeshed.
Hey another new skin for your Blog – I have to check each day just to keep up LOL
Either…Either really!!! Both absolutely gorgeous cards Leonie, really pretty. Thankyou for sharing your lovely creations
cheers
Adele
