Hello everyone.
Thanks for visiting.
Chocolate Baroque Challenge 19
The challenge this month is using very soft colours, and I have enjoyed making a few cards with these lovely pastel colours.
I have used the lady from the Mackintosh Beauty set, along with a scene called Landscape collage.
The lady is lovely and is suitable for wedding and birthday cards.
She is easy and quick to cut out, so I have paper pieced her dress . This is not a technique I can normally be bothered to do, although I do like the look.
I have just treated myself to this set of stamps, which I have looked at so many times, and I'm loving them!
I really like the Mackintosh style and this set has lovely elements to it.
The lady is beautiful and what I particularly like is that you can cut bits of the design away to make her look different, as you will see in my samples below and on my challenge card. The dress would also decoupage well, to give it depth.
I like stamps that are versatile and she certainly is.
The background stamp on this card is called Baroque Orchids, and as you can see I have cut away various sections of the lady design.
Thank you for visiting, I'm off to play with some of the other designs in the set.
Bye for now.

A beautiful card Carole and love the Mac flowers too. Settled in up here in Suffolk. Had the whole place redecorated etc. Was bedlam for 3 weeks but now mostly finished. Speak soon, Carol S.xx

ReplyDeleteI hope you don't mind but I've pressed the follow button, I would love to see more of your work, Kate x
Hi Carole, love both of your card examples, and the paper piecing on your challenge entry looks great, evocative of tartan with the diagonal pattern. great mixing and matching of stamps on both cards. I really enjoyed reading your post. Thanks for your entry into the Chocolate Baroque Challenge, Judith xx

What a gorgeous set and I can see why you had to have it, there are so many options with it and very interesting to see the options for the lady from your photo of the pieces, she looks great paper pieced! I'm a Mackie fan too and the background stamp works beautifully with this set. Chris xx
