One Stamp - Three looks



Hello.

I have three samples for you today using one stamp, which I think is very pretty. It can be used any way around, which makes it look slightly different, so is great for backgrounds.

Stamp used: Chocolate Baroque -  Rose Tree set ( flower spray)
Words are from a Woodware set.



This one has been white embossed onto a Brusho background. The flowers have been further enhanced with the Brusho water colours and a fine brush. The words are from a Woodware set (sorry can't remember what it is called).





My second card has a background stamped several times in black, and the flower spray stamped onto the circle shape and coloured. I've just realized that I took this photo before I had added the message, but it is suitable for all occasions.
I tend to stamp the message onto parchment paper as it gives a soft look and you see the pattern underneath when it is stuck onto the card.


For my third card I used some small hexagon die cut shapes  to make  a spotlight card. I stamped onto the card base first and did the border strip
I lined up the hexagons and stamped again over a scrap piece of paper. These were coloured and then attached over the image on the card.

Hope you like this stamp as much as I do.
Thanks for visiting and bye for now

Chocolate Baroque 15 minute card - Wise Owl




Hello everyone.

Another fifteen minute card for you today. There are lots of other lovely samples on the Chocolate Baroque site too.  https://chocolatebaroque.blogspot.com/

Like this owl, I think it's very cute.





Stamps used: Take it or Leaf it, Wise owl, Decorative edges.

Stamp the leaves in a circular pattern with a variety of green Distress inks.
Spritz lightly with water so the ink bleeds slightly. and leave to dry while you stamp the owl.
Once stamped, the owl is very quick to cut out. The other alternative would be to stamp the owl directly onto the card, mask it and then put the leaves around.
Stamp the border.

That's all for now.
Please visit again soon and happy crafting.
