Do you want to know a secret?!
I recently started a conversation with a dear friend like this... and of courrrrrseeee she wanted to know my secret... but I have a different secret to share with you....
(makes you want to know the secret I shared with her, doesn't it - he,he,he).
I dislike chocolate - lol!
Unlesss..... it is dark chocolate and on strawberries it's even tempting with milk chocolate!
When any reason comes in to celebrate I find myself looking at pretty flowers or a tasty treat. Recently a Doctor of mine, who has become a friend, reminded me that if I didn't have someone buying me roses, that I should buy my own - as I deserve them. For me - roses or chocolate covered strawberries... it's about admitting that I am worth it, also.

~ Using the brush from Embossing Additions Tool Kit to brush off what you don't want on there - allowing the chocolate to appear.
~ Heat set with the Heat Tool for this gold leafing appearance.
