Turquoise and chocolate

This is a very late entry for Rosiedee challenge 39.

The idea is to use turquoise and chocolate (a yummy combo) and I decided to use Kathy's latest sketch 12 'give it a swirl':



I don't feel I've done justice to this challenge - crafting seems to be an effort atm. I can't remember what the background paper is (I'll come back and amend if I remember), but it's one I love. The chipboard hearts and 'friend' are some that I've had for a long time (they came free with a mag) - they were a turquoise and peach colour, so I went over them with chestnut roon chalk ink to make them more chocolatey and I was glad that I had some turquoise wire (surprised that I had) to use for the swirls. The sentiment says: 'The road to the house of a friend is never long' Danish Proverb. Then hugging bears, of course, are Forever Friends (they just seemed appropriate here).

The card looks a bit dull on here, but you get the general idea. As usual, you can get a better view if you click on the picture to enlarge.
