Chocolate and Orange

Hello .Welcome to my room .
Are you blog browsing ? Well , I hope that you like what you see here and maybe leave a word or two . let me know you have been and I can visit you too..
Had a fabulous craft morning with Fran and Sandy . It was coffee and chat first as Sandy has just returned from a trip over seas .Lots of interesting  anecdotes of her travels made delightful addition to the bickies shared .

One of the cards made today was inspired by a card I saw one night as I blog browsed .
I must thank Jen  Nelson  for that . I would share her blog addy but did not write it down ..just remembered the design . The colour combo has changed as is the sentiment .And I think that I did the inside differently too .

                        

 

Chocolate Chip, SU , for card base .Some orange/white  paper from stash .

Pumpkin Pie ribbon , SU.  Sentiment , SU.

INSIDE

It is a  top fold C6 size card . I scallop  die cut the front . I adhered the orange paper to the bottom of a  piece of Chocolate Chip card stock the same size as the original card front .I adhered that behind the scalloped front , then added the ribbon and sentiment .
Card colours reminded me of  the Jaffa  confectionery.
 Tis another CAS card.
Must leave now and catch up on some DT work .

                     Catch you again soon , cheers for now , Shirley-Anne
