For the Love of Truffles
Happy Thursday, readers! I think the list of women that don’t like chocolate would be really short. Unfortunately, fortunately, I’m not on that list! Ha! Our pal and guest on today’s blog, Sandy Allnock captures this love so well with a bit of Copic coloring on today’s blog. Enjoy!
Enabler alert! If you are inspired by this video this is a great time to try some Copic Markers! The sale isn’t going to last much longer!
Hello crafty friends! It’s Sandy Allnock here with another little bit of coloring fun. It’s almost Valentine’s Day – are you ready yet? Got something for your sweetie? Or better yet, have you dropped enough hints for your sweetie to know what treats you’re hoping for? *grin*
For today’s card, I put some of my favorite treats on a card – truffles! Maybe these are cupcakes, but I’m going to picture them being deep dark chocolate truffles from Cupcake Royale in Seattle! Oh man. They make the most delectable treats! Anyway, I digress, it’s so easy to get distracted by sweets! My card is a round one using Lacey Circle dies, and uses the Labeled with Love stamp set made right here at Simon Says – such a fun set with not only Valentine sentiments but lots of loveydovey fun too – enough to make it a go-to stamp set for all year round. And why not, when there’s chocolate truffles to be had? It’s always chocolate season!
Dark Chocolate ink, then rubbed Schoolhouse Red onto it – not only did it create the supersoft XO, but the moistening of the paper with all that ink makes it feel all velvety soft! Perfect for a card for a honey.
So what’s YOUR favorite Valentine treat? Are you into sweets….savories….or wearable things that sparkle in the sunshine, maybe….? Let me know in a comment!

I ‘ve never tried copic markers but the card is incredible. Good enough to eat! It is so nice to have tutorials to guide us how to do all the different techniques. I have really expanded my card making lately with all the new stamping techniques I have never tried. Thank you!
I love chocolate so much!!! also love baklava! TFS that cute card!

Oh my gosh are these cute! Truffles or cupcakes…I love them! And I also love chocolate for Valentines Day. Especially crave Sees chocolates!

Just adorable and oh so yummy! I love Hershey Kisses for Valentines Day because I can eat them and still craft!!
Yes…sparkly gems are preferred, however orchids are nice too. And don’t forget the chocolate! These truffles look good enough to eat, but I’d really rather have the real thing to eat!
Yummy truffles! I like anything with dark chocolate for Valentine’s day.
I WANT those truffles!! This card is so darn cute…and I do love my chocolate!
Love your card. I am not quite into copics yet. I have just started playing with the Tim Holtz distress markers and I’m totally loving it. After I get the hang of them I might get into the copic markers.

Sandy beautiful card! I loved watching your process. I have a question for you. You layered so much color and it didn’t bleed, what kind of white card stock did you use for the heart? Did I miss that? Please let me know. I’ve been practicing my copic coloring. Thanks!
It’s Neenah 80lb. :)
