Ahhhhh, here's that yummy Au Chocolat designer paper from Stampin' Up! again (my favorite). But this time it's not just chocolate and vanilla, there's a little celery thrown in! The large flowers in the background are originally vanilla but I colored them with a celery marker,simple as that! The designer paper is distressed, then matted with celery cardstock and mounted to a chocolate card base.
The doodle from Doodle This (SU Spring mini catalog) was stamped with basic brown on vanilla cardstock and also colored with a celery marker. The edges of the vanilla piece were sponged with the brown ink and then faux stitched with a chocolate marker. Celery ribbon is threaded thru a Horizontal Slot punch and the piece mounted to the rest of the card using dimensionals.
Enjoy your weekend, I'm off to sunny (I hope!) California!
All supplies by Stampin' Up!

I love it! The green and brown are so pretty together and I never thought of coloring in the white parts of patterned paper - great idea.

Very pretty Sharon! I would never have thought to just use the swirl alone as an image! Great look!
