A new set of stamps has been launched this week by Chocolate Baroque, a lovely seasonal set of Sunny Sunflowers which promises plenty of scope for bright seasonal projects.
Here is a project from me, using some of the leaves from the set.
For this project I stamped the leaves onto mount board as a guide to cut them out with my powerful Tim Holtz scissors, leaving a small border around the edge. I then embossed the edge with an embossing pen and turquoise metallic EP, before re-stamping with the leaf and embossing that too. I coloured the leaves with H2O paints in shades of turquoise and green. I fixed some jewellery fittings onto the larger leaves with pliers and then stuck them together to form a panel which was the right shape for the wire choker necklace.
The stamps are on special offer until the end of June, so pop over to the link above to bag a bargain. You can also be in with a chance of winning the stamps if you pop over the to DT blog here where you will also find a link to the CB Facebook page where there is another chance to win a set.
Hope you have enjoyed a lovely sunny weekend.

oooh Elaine! That is gorgeous! I LOVE it!
ReplyDeleteThis is gorgeous Elaine. I haven't checked out those stamps yet so I'm not sure if the markings on the leaves are the stamp (which I suspect they are) or not but I have to say it looks very much like a crackled surface. I love the colour and the way you shaped the piece. Beautiful work.

A fabulous project my friend, just perfect for you. I love the colouring that you have achieved on the leaves with the H2Os, and the balance you have created using the different sized leaves.

Very striking with the turquoise & green combination & I love the way you've arranged the leaves. This will look stunning on the right person & just imagine an evening dress or soft floaty indian cotton...... as Judith says I can quite see it on you.
