La regola da seguire è usare il color cioccolato e io ho pensato di fare una card/contenitore color cioccolato, per regalare una tavoletta di cioccolato fondente extra. :D Insomma, cioccolato vero e finto, insieme. :D
Questo è il mio progetto, posato sul tavolo, socchiuso e visto di profilo
Ho stampato tre fiori, di cui due solo in parte, su avanzi di cartoncino bianco e li ho colorati con i Graph'it markers. Sul centro ho steso una vernice trasparente con il pennello per dare volume, poi li ho ritagliati a mano.
Ho usato il Distress Ink Ground Expresso per colorare tutta la superficie embossata, poi ho fatto delle piccole macchiette random con la Gilding Wax color oro antico.
A me il risultato ricorda molto il cioccolato, non saprei dire perchè :D
Ho incollato un nastro tessuto a mano -molto vecchio e con uno stile un po' etnico- su un bordo verticale, per ravvivare il marrone. Poi ho attaccato un fiore intero e uno dei pezzi con il foam biadesivo.
All'interno della card ho aggiunto un ovale giallo con il bordo scallop (Nellies Multi Frames), su cui in seguito si potrà scrivere qualche riga per il destinatario.
Poi ho preparato la parte per contenere la tavoletta di cioccolato: ho piegato un altro cartoncino marrone "a libro", lasciando una costa dello stesso spessore della tavoletta di cioccolato. Con un altro pezzo di cartoncino ho costruito la "tasca" in cui infilare il cioccolato e l'ho incollata alla base.
Infine ho incollato la card al contenitore e ho inserito il cioccolato nella "tasca".

Now that's what I call a delicious creation! Mention the word chocolate and I'm all ears! LOL This is a wonderful way to gift a chocolate bar, and the embossing adds enough dimension to make it look enticing! A good sentiment for this is "I'd give up chocolate, but I'm no quitter!" LOL Nice job on this chocolate beauty!

The colors of the flower and ribbon tape are fabulous, how well they go together. And together they give your project a special look and a style I really love. The woodgrain patterned background looks fab too!
RispondiEliminaThe ethnic tape works superb with the bright colors of the beautiful sunflower. And the woodgrained background does indeed look like deep rich chocolate, that you just want to bite into! What a clever way to present a gift of "real" chocolate. You are so innovative with your designs. TFS & Hugs
RispondiEliminaHello, Alice! You always have something fabulous to share! And this time it's chocolate! Yum! Even the embossed woodgrain panel looks yummy! The rich chocolate colour you achieved is perfect! The flowers are so pretty and the inside is fabulous too! Now I'm hungry for chocolate haha! A sweet project by my sweet and talented friend!
