A Friend with Chocolate

I'm a day late on this posting, but I figured February is the month for love.  One of my older boys wanted to give a gal pal something for Valentine's. So what's better than a chocolate bar?  A chocolate bar wrapped up special.

I went the image from MFT - I'm Raptor Round Your Finger.  I bought it a couple of years ago and haven't used it....until now.  I have a lot of stamps that I have gotten, just waiting for that perfect project. The sentiment is from Unity - Chocolate & Friendship stamp set, it was perfect.  In fact, my son laughed and said it was perfect.

The first thing that came into mind for making it fancy was having some lace around the edges.  I bought the lace in 2001 for a wedding project, but didn't use it.

I colored the image with water colorpencils and colorpencils.  He's just adorable!

Some heart die-cuts and fancy flourish die-cuts were needed.  Of course a little bling too.  I think she'll like it.  My son said "It's fine", I guess that means he liked it in boy talk :oD 

Have a great weekend!!

thanks for looking and reading :o)
