Retro Sketches #73 and A Chocolate Affair!

I finally inked up my new Chocolate Affair CTMH stamp set. I was SO excited to order, couldn't wait, in fact, then I've been saving it! I'm bad about not using them if I don't break them out of the package as soon as they arrive. I don't know why -- but I'll let it sit there even longer if I don't open immediately.

I paired it with this week's Retro Sketch:

 
I also used paper from the Teresa Collins 6x6 Family Stories paper pack (great colors in this pack, BTW):
 
 
I added the burlap ribbon, chocolate twine, button, and bling to finish it off, but keeping the fun & rustic vibe going. It's hard to see in this photo, but I subtly stamped the checkerboard pattern (from CTMH Geometric Backgrounds) on the cupcake circle , using Latte ink from Amuse Studio. I even dabbed a bit of the ink off before stamping to keep it very light.
 
That's it! Thanks for stopping by to visit!
