Autumn Fairy Collection

Today sees the release of the Autumn Fairy Collection from Chocolate Baroque, a real feast of designs on three DL plates.


There is a special offer on these lovely stamps here.

As well as the gorgeous fairies that I will feature later in the month, there are some great foliage stamps in these sets too. I used the rather ferny leaf from the September Fairy plate for this quick card.

 

I stamped the leafy image randomly on a strip of card in three colours of Versafine, Toffee, Spanish Moss and Olympia Green, starting with the lightest colour and finishing with the darkest. When the ink was completely dry, I added some shading in Crushed Olive Distress Ink along the edges. I matted the strip onto yellow and brown card before mounting the panel onto a cream card blank. The final touch was to add some Tim Holtz chit chat word stickers.

I'll be back next week with another design.

  2. An absolutely delicious combination of colours & I love the effect of the matting layers against the crisp white. What a remarkable effect the introduction of yellow has when added to the mauve of the stickers. This is a real lesson in how to use colour theory.
