Zoe - Colour Challenge #27 for Chocolate Baroque

Good morning Lovelies, I'm back today with a second sample for Chocolate Baroque Colour Challenge.please click on the link for the info on joining in.

For this card I used a glittery paint and simply painted it across the Linen textured card starting with the darkest shade working down to the lightest, once it was completely dry I used Versamark inkpad to stamp Winter edges stamps, first using a pale blue pearlescent embossing powder and the trees using a black embossing powder, I heat set the paler colour first to stop any contamination, the sentiment is a diecut.

Below is the colour Swatch in which to follow, yummy colours don't you think?

Thank you for joining me again today, I hope I've inspired you to join in? Have a wonderful day xx Zoe xx

Zoe - Colour Challenge #27 for Chocolate Baroque

Good morning Lovelies and welcome to my blog.

Today I'm sharing my sample for the Colour Challenge you'll find all the rules etc by just clicking on the link highlighted.

I loved this colour pallet, it just screamed "Contemporary Christmas"

I very simply, blended Distress inks onto my inking card using a blending sponge then spritzing lightly with water and heat drying to get some texture, then once it was completely dry I stamped the Flourish and Bauble from the gorgeous Snowflake Flourish set using Versamark inkpad and a pale blue pearlescent embossing powder and heat set it.

Below is the Colour Swatch in which to follow.

Thank you so much for visiting today, I hope I've inspired you to join in. Have a great day xx Zoe xx

CAS for Chocolate Baroque

Good morning Lovelies, I'm here today sharing my bi-monthly CAS projects for Chocolate Baroque DT blog.

As wonderful as it is to have the time, patience and products to experiment with techniques it's also fun to be able to create something lovely in less than 15 minutes, that's why we are showcasing CAS (clean and simple) projects that can be created in less than 15 minutes using Chocolate Baroque stamps.

I use a lot of Linen texture card, I love that little bit of class it adds to projects, here I used nesting stitched edge dies, the smallest square I stamped using Versafine Black inkpad the flower sprig in the first card and a single flower for the second card from Sketchy Doodle Landscape, and sentiment I then painted in areas using Acrylic Wax I also splattered some randomly on the card and left to dry, I masked the edges using a low tack tape and inked using a blending tool and Distress inks, the waxed areas created a lovely resist effect.

My second card I used the same technique as the first only masking first and stamping off the edge, I didn't splatter the wax on this one, leaving the tape in place I used two colours spray ink and tipped them to move them about, creating texture, added my sentiment and some faux stitching with a fine tip pen, few sequins and voila.

Thank you so much for visiting, I hope I've inspired you in some way, please leave a comment, have a wonderful day, crafty hugs Zoe xx
