Chocolate Baroque 15 minute cards - Tall Trees and Floral Harmony





Hello everyone.
Today I have two  cards to show you, using the Tall Trees stamp set and Floral Harmony. They will both take about 15 minutes to make.

Tall Trees




I had a background piece in my stash made with Worn Lipstick and Weathered Wood inks. I really like the bright pink with the grey. Very moody.

I stamped the tree and verse with black Versafine
The Distress ink background uses the same colours, with the leaf over-stamped in the red.


Floral Harmony

What a great stamp this is. It looks good whichever way around it is put and I like that, as it looks slightly different each time. This is a clean, crisp card that can be used for any occasion.





I have stamped the image onto a 21cm x 10.5cm. piece of card and embossed it. Then I cut  around the tips of the left hand leaf, so that the ribbon can be tucked under the edge, as it is wrapped around.

The image is coloured with Brushos, giving a lovely vibrant look. This takes very little time as the colour stays contained within the embossed areas.

Mount onto a coordinated card base.
Any message can be added to this card.

Hope you have enjoyed seeing my cards and happy crafting.

Floral Cards



Hello.

March was a very busy month for me  with so many things going on and  lots of cards to make.
I had six birthdays, various cards for Chocolate Baroque's show on Hochanda on the 3rd April, and  Mother's day, of course.
Keeps me out of mischief.



Here are two cards I made with a stamp for the  Hochanda show.  (Rose Tree set).


The Rose Tree Rubber Stamp sheet - A5

Love this stamp.  It is so pretty and very versatile. It can be embellished or left plain and still looks good.
 Just realized, I took the photo before I put the message onto the bottom card, but it is suitable for all occasions really.
Thank you for your visit and happy crafting.
