Cookie Friend!

Well its a showery blustery morning here... just perfect for crafting!

Kept this card quite simple - I'm trying to cut back on my layers as its impossible to send anything through the mail without paying big postage... and I'm not even convinced that this card will make the cheaper postage!

The sketch came from Card Positioning Systems #116; the colour theme from One Stop Craft Challenge #29 - pink and brown; and the doodled border for the High Hopes Challenge - Can ya doodle! (no I can't doodle, so I just doodled a simple border!)
Crafty Creations #15 - chocolate - I used chocolate paper, ribbon and chocolate themed sentiment - was going to make a chocolate cookie but changed it at the last minute to make it pink! (Plus for extra bonus points I ate a bar of Cadbury's chocolate while making it!)

I bought a wee box of mixed gems recently from a home products cleaning catalogue and they turned out to be much smaller in real life than they looked in the catalogue ... but they have been the best buy ever! There are 3 sizes on this card - ickle tiny ones for the cookie, slightly bigger on the sentiment and then the 'biggest' ones on the flowers.

Supplies: stamps from Inkadoodle, chocolate brown paper, patterned paper from Rubber Soul, chocolate ribbon; white gel pen and brown marker for borders; watercolour pencils.
