A Happy Place

This is another card I made with the new clear stamps launched this month at Chocolate Baroque. This one uses the Periwinkle Corners.

I started off using the little Crafty Individuals fern masks in different greens to make my background. I overstamped in green Versafine with the periwinkle stamp and then added some highlighting with white Prisma pencil. I embossed the fairy from Gossamer Wings which is currently on offer as a Last Chance stamp because it is being retired and the words from the Artistic Affirmations set.  These are embossed in green metallic EP onto green pearlescent paper and cut out. The final additions was some velvet Petaloo flowers and leaves that have a touch of glitter (or fairy dust!).

Hope you have nice plans for a cosy Easter weekend. Whatever you plan to do, keep warm!

Big bold backgrounds

The new launch over at Chocolate Baroque this month are some gorgeous big, bold and beautiful backgrounds.

You can see the stamps here

I made this little easel card with the floral damask stamp. I embossed the pattern with a malachite green embossing powder and then inked with Mown Grass, Peacock Feathers Distress Inks and Meadow Adirondack dye ink. I cut out the heart using the inner line of my heart die as a template and then cut out the easel with the same die.

I used the ornate scrollwork corner clear stamp as the stop for the easel. I finished off with the sentiment from the Pretty Poppies plate embossed in gold on green and carefully cut out and a little bird charm.

There are some gorgeous samples coming up from the Design Team over this month and do pop over and see the gorgeous coloured tag Glenda has posted on her blog here. Her lovely shading shows how you can add amazing dimension to these backgrounds.

Thanks for popping by!
