Chocolate Baroque Challenge 31





Hello everyone. Welcome to my blog.
Another lovely colour combination this month.

These challenges keep me focused on my stamping and I have had fun using a lovely poppy set called Summer Poppies,  that I haven't touched for a long while. Found it again when I was tidying my stash. That's a challenge in itself!


 
 
 
 
 So, here's my first card. Very quick and simple.
 
 
 
 
I like the main stamp a lot as it is surprisingly versatile
 
  This one took longer as there was a lot of cutting out, but I think it was worth it.
The ribbon is actually the same colour as the inkpad, although it appears much redder in my photo!

 
 
This is the background that I did first before I overlaid the others features. Seemed a shame to cover it up really.
 

 
 
Thank you very much for visiting. Must go, as I have the boring things to do now.
 
Happy Crafting
Carole
