PPA25 - "..life is like a box of chocolates."



Ppa25 inspiration




This weeks PPA challenge is an inspiration challenge based on the picture above. I remember getting a special box of chocolates for Valentines Day. I really love chocolate, but I think I enjoyed the boxes with the satin, ribbons and flowers as much as the candy inside. I would keep the boxes and put all my little trinkets in them until they fell apart. I haven't seen boxes like those in a long time. I also prefer chocolate now that comes with a gold wrapper. I'm sure you know what I am referring to:). I thought I would make a card somewhat like a box that chocolates would come in. This design would also be cute on top of a small altered box with a few gold wrapped truffles.

Stamps - Well Scripted, Tiny Tags
Ink -chocolate chip
Paper- Whisper White Bride, real red and chocolate chip card stock
Accessories - Sizzix scallop and hearts and brackets dies, circle scissors plus, chocolate chip taffeta ribbon, chocolate chip corduroy button.
