Kraft Poppies

 

Hi there welcome to my blog  :)  I have a quick and easy card to share with you, another of my DT samples.  I have used stamps from the Poppy Ledger and Make your Mark sets; Distress Oxide inks, black Versafine ink, sepia Versafine ink, clear EP and a black pen from my stash.

I took a piece of Kraft card and stamped the Poppy Ledger image in black ink then embossed it with clear EP.  I used DO inks to paint the colour on the poppies.  I then stamped the cracked image in sepia ink around the edges of the Kraft card, using first and second generation ink.  I did the same with the small circle image.   

On a spare piece of Kraft card I stamped and embossed a sentiment then used a black pen around the edges of the panel  and did the same with the focal panel.  

I attached the focal panel to a white base card and added the sentiment panel.

I love this stamp!  I think it really suits being used with Kraft card, and of course the flowers can be any colour.  It's a lovely design that I think could be used for any occasion and recipient.

Glorious Circles

Hello and welcome to my blog  :)  I'm sharing one of my Chocolate Baroque samples today, a bright and cheery card.  I used stamps from the Glorious and Make your Mark sets; Distress Oxide inks, acrylic paints, CB Strip Stencil, black Versafine ink, clear EP, and a black pen from my stash.

I have several backgrounds in my stash from the second CB Craftalong and I chose one for this project.  It was made on a gelli plate using acrylic paints and a couple of stencils.  I used another stencil to add white gesso discs randomly over the background.  

 I stamped both circle images in black ink off the edges of the background and embossed them with clear EP.  I then stamped and embossed the floral sprig image in the center of the large circle and over one of the white discs, which will enable me to get a true colour when painting the flowers, which I did with DOs. 

On a white base card I stamped the 'dotty' image around the edges in first and second generation ink, then in another colour I did the same with the smaller circle image.  I trimmed the background panel, blended ink around the edges then added a free-hand line frame with a black pen.  

I stamped and embossed a sentiment in black onto a spare piece of white card.  I then trimmed the card to size, added ink around the edges and attached it to the card.

As I said this is a cheery little card that would suit a lot of occasions.  I had such a lovely time creating it and I think the colours really pop!

Thank you for dropping in  today, I hope you've enjoyed this post and maybe I've inspired you a little.  I hope to see you here again soon  :)
