PHOTOGRAPHING CHOCOLATE: A SWEET CHALLENGE ; Photographing chocolate is very challenging. For one thing, humidity and temperature can play a big part in what the chocolate looks like. And chocolate is very susceptible to damage from fingerprints, casual bumping against other product, and time. Working with chocolate to make it look great is what we […]

Happy Monday friends!  Today I'm sharing a card featuring a digital stamp from the LTTS Doodles Etsy Shop! I printed the digital image on an oval that I die cut from Neenah card stock.  I colored the image with copics and added Nuvo Crystal Glaze on the candle flame and cake sprinkles.  I die cut a banner that I also colored with copics.  I adhered the oval and banner with foam tape to add some dimension to my card.  The sentiment is from my stash. Thanks so much for stopping by.  I hope you have a wonderful week! Hugs, Anita
