Chocolate Baroque challenge July



Hello again.


The second challenge card I have just completed is for Chocolate Baroque.

The colours are a bit out of my comfort zone and my sample has come out a little brighter than I would have liked!





I have only just started doing any challenges and I find that it really helps me to focus on using colours I may not normally use, and actually completing a card. Must be good.

The stamp used for the background is from the Floral Edges set.
I have stamped it all around the edge, to form a frame.

The butterfly and saying are from one of my favourite sets called Patchwork butterfly.
I have used the stamps in this set so often as they are a great size. It also has an oversized butterfly, which is good for home décor items.
Great used with metal too.

Two cards in one day. Whatever next!

Bye for now. Please visit again.

  6. Indeed a lovely card, very inspirational (must try that too with the flower edges). The chocolate baroque challenges certainly challenges us often! Even combinations that look easy can challenge me as I sometimes "think" to hard about the colours.

  8. This is stunning! I love the background-really well put together with the colours and love that butterfly with some sparkle. I love the brightness to it but it doesn't seem too bright more rich
