Those of you in other parts of the country or world may think, "big deal", but for us here in Southern Oregon near the California border, we aren't accustomed to this much snow. We've had 6" here in our yard and then it froze last night (and it's still below 29 degrees), so the roads are really hazardous and we're basically house-bound. At the moment we're getting a break but another storm is approaching Friday.
So, let's make some chocolates! My inspiration this morning is Color Throwdown Challenge #826 - Pink, Brown, and White with the yummy chocolate cookies dusted with pink sugar crystals.
I'm using my new-to-me Tim Holtz #666290 "True Love: Colorize" dies. While this card was relatively simple to make, the chocolates were not. I made the chocolates a couple of weeks ago and had them in my stash until I figured out what to do with them. The sentiment is from Simple Stories ("Simple Vintage Berry Fields") and the spatters are Tim Holtz, from one of his Halloween sets. I've gotten so much use out of this spatter stamp over the years and year-round. Somehow the top panel moved when I was stamping the brown sentiment and I got a bit of shadow, but I didn't have the energy to stamp it again and just left it.

I love this! And the sentiment shadow looks like you meant to do that. Looks great!
