I’m a HUGE fan of brown tones. Dark Chocolate is one perfect brown! Not to red, not too green… just right! Finding coordinating products for this was easy,I went with rich earth tones and also found some fantastic nuetral embellishments.
I’ve put together my walk through video plus explain how I used some of the product for my card. Enjoy!
I created my card using a few circle dies as the focal point, both are from Simon Says Stamp, the larger one is from the Hexagon Pattern Die set and the smaller is from the Circle on a Line set. I loved the Take a Hike paper from Simple Stories, it was perfect for this arrangement.
I added a few embellishments to my arrangement starting with the Urban Metal badge for Lily Bee Designs, and the Wood Dots from the Just Splendid My Mind’s Eyes collection.
Putting everything together was simple using the coordinating products. :o)

Areally beautiful card here and the colors are awesome and everything looks sooo great.
I love the use of the chocolate brown!! thanks!
Brown is really my favorite neutral. Great samples.
This is gorgeous! I use chocolate brown on so many of my cards. I really love the little wooden butterfly too!
Brown is one of my go to colors, nice set.
Awesome “ingredients” and card.
I used chocolate card on my projects so much that I’ve none left :(
Had to hurry and pin this card. It is awesome! I love every little detail.
Brown is not my favorite for cards, but I do love some of those elements you pulled in! I might just have to try out brown a little more often!
Brown is such a yummy, rich color.
My fav colour thanks for great ideas to use with it
Love the Doodlebug enamel dots.
I’m not particularly fond of brown, although I do love dark chocolate LOL, but you make these colours work so well together, Shari! I so love this colour coordinates series!
I love using dark brown in my crafting and how it goes so well with other colors like Shari shows here.
You did an amazing job putting everything together, I love the finished product!
This has given me many ideas for this color. Thanks!!
Love the colours. It’s a beautiful card.
What a great color coordinates!! The card is simple and gorgeous!! Those wood dot circles, though, gotta have like a bajillion of those!!!
this color is so elegant, I love it!
Wood veneers are my new “go to” embellishment !!
Shari’s card looks yummy enough to eat – just like dark chocolate!
You had me at “dark chocolate” in the post title. ;-) I love using browns, autumn colors and neutrals. They’re so much more in my personal color palette than pinks and purples, and make lovely masculine cards. Lovely, as always, Shari.
I am still loving browns too, though the fashion world seems to have moved on to navy. And I am rediscovering basic shapes like circles and squares. So versatile in cardmaking. Thanks for some great inspiration today.
Something as small as a custom badge can be extremely useful to the one using it and others around him. It can be mighty helpful in identification of a person.
