I found a card very similar to this on SCS this morning. I wanted to do one more card for the workshop today.
SU does not have chocolate brads, and they retired the copper ones, so what's a girl to do? Well, make them silly. I took my retired copper brads and inked them up with chocolate chip craft ink. Dipped the brad in clear embossing powder, and heated. So what do you think, easy huh? Oh one thing make sure that you use the tweezers to hold the brad -- they get REALLY hot!!!
Stamps: Baroque Motifs Inks: Chocolate Chip, River Rock Paper: Chocolate Chip, River Rock, Brocade Background DP Extras: brads, dimensionals, clear embossing powder, heat gun, tweezers, stamp-a-ma-jig, scallop circle punch

Corie! This card is absolutely GORGEOUS! A definite CASE by me ;)
Hope your class goes well! Thanks for sharing!
So beautiful! I will be casing this one when I get my punch next week!! :0)
This is gorgeous, Corie! I love brown tones and love, love, love this set! Beautiful dp, too!
My SU Demo showed us to use our dye inks to colour the brads, then dip in your VersaMark pad, coat with clear embossing powder and heat set. Just another route, if you don't have a lot of craft inks.
I really like that punch, it's a perfect size for the flower...oh decisions, decisions on what my next order is going to be! I 'need' to win the lottery! lol :)

Hi Corie
I look at your cards - they're so beautiful! Great work.
Love this yummy chocolate card! It's beautiful!
This card is Totally Beautiful!! Love the colors and design.
Such an awesome card. I just ordered this stamp set myself and should get it this week (I hope). The way you put the patterned paper in the centre is lovely. The way you placed the swirls and sentiment is lovely as well. Very nice card indeed.
Gorgeous card Corie. I hope we get this set in our new catalogue next year (in Australia). I have seen some fantastic cards made using it!
WOW!!!! Corie this card is absolutely GORGEOUS!! I LOVE the color combo!! This is one of my favorite sets!!
This is absolutely beautiful! Every detail is well attended to, and it's very pretty!
Very pretty! I like how you used the scallop punch with this...it works great with that image. I miss copper brads too, but the chocolate chip ones you made are even better.
gorgeous!
