a yummy challenge for Mittwochstempler (WS) this week … and one of my favorite food groups too … CHOCOLATE
“… and no one gets hurt”
my arch began with a photograph of an old funky looking metal iron rest that I picked up with intentions of altering some day
I added the velvety flocked leaves as a finishing touch along with the recipe page from a 1953 Refrigerator Desserts booklet as a backdrop

It’s always wonderful when you choose a background that goes so well with the images you choose. This iron holder is to die for, and you have altered it so well. I don’t think I’ve seen an arch I like better than this one. I really love the rubber stamp you used to frame the little girl. She has so much detail with all the added goodies, she’s sure to be a favorite of everyone.

Simply amazing, Patty! Love your take on the theme. Just a delight!

so sweet! I love how used parts and snippets of doily (the collar and the halo) …. no need to use perfectly precisely cut pieces of german foil …. the bandit mask really MAKES it!

“Hand over the chocolate…and no one gets hurt” – too funny! Oh, wise words for us all! Who could resist this little bandit beauty? Very, very cute. Using an old iron rest… what a great idea!
