Hi and welcome to my blog :) I have two quick and easy cards to share with you today; they are both samples from last month's CB shows on tv and are among a fantastic selection of quick cards featured on the CB Design Team blog page 15 minute cards http://chocolatebaroque.blogspot.com. I have used two of the new stamps that were launched on those shows - Be Kind and Floral Grunge; black Versafine ink, clear EP, black and silver marker pens, and alcohol marker pens.
I stamped each image onto a piece of CB Luxury Smooth white paper using black ink then embossed them with clear powder. I then used alcohol pens to colour the images, adding shading and tone. I used a very pale grey tone to add a shadow line around the flowers to make them pop off the page.
I used the silver and black marker pens around the edges of each focal panel, then matted and layered each one onto a base card. I stamped a sentiment in black ink onto each card to complete the designs.
These cards are not only quick to make but they can easily be copied for batch making. The sentiments are non specific so these cards are suitable for any occasion and recipient. Thank you for dropping in today, I hope you've enjoyed this post - I'd love it if you left me a comment. Feel free to browse my blog for ideas and inspiration or pop back again anytime :)
Hi and welcome to my blog :) Today's post is one of my samples from last month's Chocolate Baroque new stamps launch. I have used the Shared Beauty stamp, and several images from the Wild Meadow set; one of the beautiful new Designer papers from Lesley 'My Floral Soul', Distress Oxide inks, Versamark ink, Copper EP, and Koh-I-Noor paints.
I took a piece of the Designer paper and cut it to size. I then stamped and embossed the Shared Beauty image in copper and masked it with masking tissue. I stamped several images from the Wild Meadow set around the focal image and embossed them in copper too. I then removed the mask and painted the flower.
I used a copper marker pen around the edges of the focal panel and matted it onto black card. I took a white base card and stamped several small worker images around the edges of the card to create a border, using colours of DO inks to complement the paper. I then blended some ink around the outer edges of the card and attached the focal panel.
I stamped a sentement onto white card and embossed it with the copper EP. I then die cut it and added ink through the die. I removed the die and edged the panel with copper pen. I then matted the panel onto black card and attached it to the card with 3D gel.
I'm really pleased with this card, it is a colourful, cheerful card that would suit many occasions and recipients.
Thank you for popping in today, I hope this post has inspired you and that you'll visit again soon :)
