Chocolate Baroque 15 minute card - Floribunda Net







Floribunda Net -  15 minute card

Hello everyone.
Today I have another 15 minute card to show you that is very simple to do, but very effective , I think.

I really like black and white cards and  you can always add a little touch of colour to them, if you wish.







Stamps used: Floribunda Net
Words on the  Loving Sentiments set
Versafine onyx black inkpad
White and black card

I stamped  the rose several times onto  white card and trimmed it up to fit a square card blank. Instead of matting it onto black I used a fine black pen and drew lines around the edge, to give the appearance of layering.

I stamped it out again and cut around the top section and tore around the bottom, netted section.
This has been mounted onto black, which has then been torn into shape.
Lastly I added the words.

The black and white gives a lovely crisp look to your card, but any monochrome would look good too.

Thank you for visiting today and I hope you enjoy the Chocolate Baroque show on Hochanda on the 20th November.

                                                                  Bye for now

Laurel Burch Card

Hello, hope you are all well.
This is just a quick posting to show you another Laurel Burch card .

Not one that I have made, but a gorgeous card that I received for my birthday recently,
from a very good friend who is also a Laurel Burch fan.







Chris  really makes her colouring come alive and this is no exception.
This is a great stamp that Chris used, mind you, there are not many of the Laurel Burch designs that I don't like !
Many of my Christmas cards will be featuring a gorgeous Christmas cat stamp.

Must get some colouring lessons.  Love it :) .
