Rose and Thistle

There are new stamps over at Chocolate Baroque, including a lovely Rose and Thistle stamp with some very pretty images. There are also some really gorgeous new heart stamps the range of clear stamps. These are available as singles or a multibuy.


I have posted some of the results of my playing with these stamps already over at the DT blog here and here. Here are a couple more of my cards.


I couldn't resist a Scottish themed card, using some tartan paper that had been in my stash for ages. I was inspired by the tradional brooches that have a silver and amethyst mount. I used a metallic green EP and glazed the thistle heads. The sentiment is from the Pretty Poppies set.

I wanted to make a simple, but elegant card using the Baroque Heart that could be used for a wedding congratutions card or even an invitation design.


I embossed in Brass WOW powder and then cut out the image and puffed it out with a paper stump. The sentiment is from the Journal Today plate.

More lovely stamps to come from Chocolate Baroque very soon!

Hope you are keeping safe and sound in this chilly weather. We were snowed in on Friday, but all is thawing nicely at the moment here.

  1. Two beautiful cards, both showcasing the new stamps so well. I love the Scottish theme of the first, and the understated simplicity of the second.

    we are still covered in snow here, but the roads are fairly clear at least. Judith xx

  2. I love the way you've used that large gem on the first to hold your thistle bunch - rather special that & the way the lilac ribbon & corner gems carry the thistle colour through is gorgeous. That tartan really is a treat.
    The elegance of your second is a wonder & your positioning just classy!.

  4. These are both gorgeous Elaine. I especially like the thistle one as the colours are so rich and I love tartan. You've coloured the image beautifully! The second card would indeed be suitable for a congratulations card or as the basis for a range of stationery for the big day.

    Fabulous work my friend.
