Celebrate

At Crafty Boots the challenge is to create something for a celebration. So below is a special card I made for an engagement using my new Chocolate Baroque stamps.

I stamped the honeycomb using white paint onto the white card and once dried inked the card with mustard seed distress stain. Using the honeycomb stamp again I used vintage photo distress ink to add another layer. The edges were lightly inked with rusty hinge to add a bit of warmth.

The beehive, large flower and the word dream were embossed using fine black embossing powder.

I stamped and embossed a bee on a separate piece of card then inked with the mustard seed and rusty hinge before cutting it out and attaching using a foam pad to give a bit of depth.

Have fun celebrating.

Alpha Challenge - A

Advertise  / Advertisement are the words I have chosen to reflect for the Craft Barn Alpha Challenge this fortnight.

I dug through my stamps and found that within my Indigo Blu collection I had a raft of advertisements including the Yorkshire evening post set which I stamped and then heat embossed in black as the background. The others were all stamped onto Kraft paper and lightly inked with vintage photo as were the dictionary pages with a little white paint around the edges and around the words.

Not sure Ill get to do the next 2 challenges on time due to work but hopefully I will be able to catch up afterwards.

Bye for now.
