<br />
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">This one has been stamped onto a mica sprayed background using Versafine black and I've added some colour to the flowers with water based pens. The image has been mounted onto black card and the 7 x 7 white card blank has been stamped with one of the butterflies from <a href="http://www.chocolatebaroque.com/">Butterfly Mind</a> using grey ink.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"> This one has been embossed with gold powder onto navy card and the flowers coloured with metallic pens. The A5 white card blank has been stamped with a worker stamp from <a href="http://www.chocolatebaroque.com/">Freedom Flower</a>. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">The 3rd sample has been stamped onto white vellum with Brilliance Graphite Black and then the flowers coloured on the back with metallic pens. I have used clear foam pads and transfer foils to mask the pads which I have used to attach the vellum to some white card. To finish mount onto grey card, an embossed lilac piece and finally onto a white 5 x 7 card blank.</span></div>

I really loved this month's launch, really versatile with lots of scope for ideas. Here's my first design featuring <a href="http://www.chocolatebaroque.com/">O is For</a>.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"> For this design I took an 8 x 8 ivory card blank. I started with a square of ivory card and masked a circle at the centre. I then took a circle die just to mark a larger circle around the masked area. I then sponged the entire area using Distress inks Peeled Paint, Wild Honey and Vintage Photo around the edges. Now remove the mask from the centre. I used the small tree from the set to stamp all around the outer circle at clock number intervals. Next I stamped the "O" from the set into the centre of the masked circle <span style="background-color: white; color: black; display: inline; float: none; font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: 16px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; letter-spacing: normal; text-align: left; text-decoration: none; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; word-spacing: 0px;">using </span><a href="http://www.chocolatebaroque.com/" style="-webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; color: #0066cc; font-family: &quot; font-size: 16px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; letter-spacing: normal; orphans: 2; text-align: left; text-decoration: underline; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; word-spacing: 0px;">Versafine Vintage Sepia</a><span style="background-color: white; color: black; display: inline; float: none; font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: 16px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; letter-spacing: normal; text-align: left; text-decoration: none; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; word-spacing: 0px;"> </span>and sponged the sky and ground using a piece of torn card. I then coloured with water based markers. to finish layer onto brown and Kraft card before attaching to the card blank. </span></div>

For my next design I've used <a href="http://www.chocolatebaroque.com/">Remembrance Tree and Harmony Tree</a> and I think this has to be my favourite of my samples. I've tried to depict the 4 seasons and I think it's worked out very well. I used backgrounds made with Distress inks with the spray & smooch method and then stamped with Versafine black. I just added a touch of colour with water based pens and the 4 pieces were mounted onto an 8 x 8 white card blank.</div>

I then stamped the chess board and other pieces into the background. I stamped the chess pieces randomly over the A5 white card using a grey inkpad, before adding the image which has been layered onto black card.</span></div>

For this one I took an A5 white card blank and folded the front half back on itself. I stamped a background using stamps from Music Fanfare and Distress inks Picked Raspberry and Iced Spruce. I then took a square of white card and stamped with one of the stamps from Baroque Ephemera 1 using grey ink before stamping the violin over the top. I coloured with pencils and distressed the edges of the piece. I then mounted it at an angle onto a piece of bright pink card and then onto grey before attaching to card. Below is a closer look at the background.</div>

It's my turn on the blog today and a chance to share my samples from the October show with all the lovely vintage themed stamps.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">My first thought when I saw the plethora of lables, tickets and old postcards was to make a mini scrapbook so I began by making a "masterboard" in 2 complimenting colours. I took most of the small stamps from <a href="http://www.chocolatebaroque.com/">Baroque Ephemera1</a> and <a href="http://www.chocolatebaroque.com/">Baroque Ephemera 2</a> and placed them randomly on a large acrylic block. I used <a href="http://www.chocolatebaroque.com/">Distress Inks</a> Wild Honey, Tea Dye, Weathered Wood,Frayed Burlap and Hickory Smoke to sponge over 2 A4 sheets of card. I then over stamped with the stamps on my block using <a href="http://www.chocolatebaroque.com/">Versafine Vintage Sepia</a> to form a great background.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"></span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">
I die cut the 2 sheets then and stuck the 2 colourways back to back to form my mini scapbook. I used old family photos to compliment the general look and added lace, paper flowers, buttons, pearls, washi tape etc before putting all together with a book ring.</span><span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span><span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"> </span><br />

<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"> Also featured in the October shows on Hochanda was <a href="http://www.chocolatebaroque.com/">Movie Strip</a> and I was really pleased how well this went with the Ephemera stamps.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">For the next sample I simply white embossed the flower onto white card and added some black <a href="http://www.chocolatebaroque.com/">Brushos</a> before spraying with water and letting the Brushos do their thing. I just love the fact that you never know what you're going to end up with! I stamped a few of the vintage stamps randomly using Versafine Onyx Black.</span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">For my final sample for this time I've used another lovely floral stamp <a href="http://www.chocolatebaroque.com/">Floral Grunge</a>.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">I took a white A4 card blank and masked the top and bottom with masking tape leaving a band in the centre approx. 3" wide. I then sponged Distress inks Wild honey, Peeled Paint and Rusty Hinge over this band and when the inks were dry I carefully removed the tape.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">I used Floral Grunge to stamp in 3 areas partly over the inked area using Versafine Onyx Black. I like the clean simplicity of this design.</span></div>

<span style="color: black; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;">Hello everyone, it's my turn on the blog again and here are the
rest of my samples from the September Hochanda shows. I'll start with one of my
favourites and a favourite technique too- Intaglio enamelling. </span></div>

<br /></div>
<br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><span style="color: black;">For this design
I've used </span><span lang="EN-US"><a href="http://www.chocolatebaroque.com/"><span lang="EN-GB" style="color: blue;">Artist Trading Heart & Happy Flower Day</span></a></span><span style="color: black;">. I stamped the heart onto
thick card and cut it out. I then covered the entire surface with Versamark and
then applied chunky bronze embossing powder before heating to melt. I repeated
this process twice more and while the enamelling was still molten after the third application,
I stamped the butterfly from Happy flower Day into it having inked the stamp
first with a black inkpad. you will need to let the enamelling cool before you remove the stamp.</span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: black;"><span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">I mounted the
heart onto a piece of Kraft card which had been passed through an embossing
folder and given a light coating of gilding wax. To finish I added some narrow
organza ribbon and attached to a 6 x 6 white card blank. </span></span><br />
<span style="color: black;"><span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></span>

the pretty butterfly from Happy Flower Day which I've embossed onto navy card
using pink, green, lilac and blue embossing powders. I sprinkled a little
embossing powder randomly and heated from below. I also stamped the butterfly
onto the 7 x 7 white card blank using a grey inkpad. </span></span><br />

same stamp. For this design I stamped onto self adhesive stationery labels
using a black inkpad. I coloured softly with pencils and then peeled the labels
off the backing sheet and repositioned them onto pink card, white card and
finally grey. I then attached to a white A5 card blank.</span><span style="color: black; font-family: "&quot" , serif;"></span></div>

We had some lovely florals and hearts to choose from and a wealth of options for your imagination. </span><span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span><br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Here's my first design using <a href="http://www.chocolatebaroque.com/">Celebration Bouquet</a></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>

<div>
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">For this one I simply embossed the image with white powder onto <a href="http://www.chocolatebaroque/">Kraft Card</a> and sponged with Distress inks Blueprint Sketch, Peeled Paint, Barn Door and Fossilized Amber.</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I then layered onto white & Kraft card before attaching to an A5 Kraft card blank. Very simple but clean and delicate. I just love all the fine detail in this stamp. </span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Next, we have <a href="http://www.chocolatebaroque/">Happy Flowers Day</a></span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">This is one of my favourites and for this one I began by flicking some brown ink onto an </span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">8 x 8 ivory card blank. Next I die cut some hexagons and then stamped parts of the magnolia, butterfly and script using a black inkpad. I coloured with pencils and attached 2 strips of burlap onto the card blank before attaching the hexagons.</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I just loved September's stamps and once I got going I just couldn't stop! My next sample incorporates the great <a href="http://www.chocolatebaroque.com/">Artist Trading Heart and Geometric Trading Hearts</a>.</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
</span><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><div style="text-align: left;">
This again is a simple design. I stamped both hearts onto card which I had smooched (wipe the card through watered ink on your craft mat) Distress inks onto using a black inkpad. I then cut them both out and stamped the sentiment and image onto the plain one.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
I stamped <a href="http://www.chocolatebaroque.com/">Square Bubbles</a> onto a 6 x 6 white card blank using a grey inkpad and sponged Distress ink Wilted Violet around the edges. </div>
</span><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><div>
<br /></div>
</span><div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"> Finally we have the Snakehead Fritillary from <a href="http://www.chocolatebaroque.com/">Happy Flowers Day</a> </span></div>

<br /></div>
</span><span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><div style="text-align: left;">
For this card I stamped onto a white die cut oval (a smaller one for the sentiment) using a purple inkpad and then stamped again without re inking the stamp (secondary stamping) which gives you an interesting shadowy effect. I coloured the flowers in the foreground using pencils and mounted onto a grey A5 card blank.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
That's all for this time but I'll have lots more to show you later in the month including the samples which didn't make it onto the show. </div>

<span style="color: black; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 12.0pt;">Hi everyone it's my turn on the blog again today so
I thought I'd show you the rest of my designs for the August Hochanda show using the great "Houses" stamps. </span><span style="color: black; font-family: "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 12.0pt;"></span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: black; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 12.0pt;"> I'll start with one of my favourites <a href="http://www.chocolatebaroque.co.uk/"><span style="color: blue;">Italian House</span></a>
and for the first design I've given it a spooky Halloween look.</span><span style="color: black; font-family: "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 12.0pt;"></span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: black; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 12.0pt;">I made a background with Distress inks Rusty Hinge,
Barn Door and Carved Pumpkin. I then simply stamped the house using a black
inkpad & shaded with a grey brush pen.</span><span style="color: black; font-family: "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 12.0pt;"></span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: black; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 12.0pt;">I've added some die cut bats & a punched circle
for the moon.</span><span style="color: black; font-family: "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 12.0pt;"></span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: black; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 12.0pt;">To finish I've mounted onto black card and attached
to an ivory A5 card blank and added some freehand lines. </span><br />
<span style="color: black; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 12.0pt;"><br /></span>

<br />
<span lang="EN-US" style="background: white; color: black; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;">For the next one I've used </span><span lang="EN-US"><a href="http://www.chocolatebaroque.com./"><span style="color: #0066cc;"><span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Dutch House</span></span></a></span><span lang="EN-US" style="background: white; color: black; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;"> which I have
stamped twice onto white card so that I could 3D the tallest part of the house.
I've coloured with pencils and the design itself is made up of a "bridge
fold"- if you're not familiar with this fold let me know and I'd be happy
to give you details. I've coloured in bright "Dutch" colours and
added die cut flowers to decorate the card blank.</span><br />

and for this I've stamped onto cork using a black inkpad (Versafine). The cork
sheet gives a great textured look & is very easy to colour with water based
pens. I've mat and layered onto ivory and then Kraft card before attaching to
the card blank. I've cut away the right side of the card blank (A5 ivory) and
stamped the background with <a href="http://www.chocolatebaroque.com/"><span style="color: blue;">On the Tiles</span></a> using a Sepia inkpad and added some
torn strips of cork to add interest.</span><br />

again today & I want to show you some of my designs from the August
Hochanda show. </span><br />
<span style="color: black; font-family: "Arial",sans-serif; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-ansi-language: EN-GB; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-language: EN-GB;"><br /></span><span style="color: black; font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-ansi-language: EN-GB; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-language: EN-GB;"></span>

fun to do. I stamped <a href="http://www.chocolatebaroque.com/"><span style="color: blue;">Italian House</span></a>
and <a href="http://www.chocolatebaroque.com/"><span style="color: blue;">Bridge
House</span></a> several times each using a black inkpad and just shaded softly with a grey pen. I
then cut parts from each of them (see if you can spot them!) before layering
them together at different depths onto some pale blue card using silicone glue.
I then layered this onto <a href="http://www.chocolatebaroque.com/"><span style="color: blue;">Kraft card</span></a> & stamped some foliage around the
edges from <a href="http://www.chocolatebaroque.com/"><span style="color: blue;">Robin the Spruce</span></a> & coloured using water based
pens. To finish I added some punched cork hearts, a mini calendar & paper
raffia.</span><span style="color: black; font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-ansi-language: EN-GB; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-language: EN-GB;"></span><br />

which is my favourite (don't tell anyone!)</span><span style="color: black; font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-ansi-language: EN-GB; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-language: EN-GB;"></span><br />

embossing powder & then stencilled a moon through a punched circle shape
with a white ink. I then water coloured using gold and copper inks from pearl
inkpads (Brilliance) before splattering white ink over the entire design. I
layered onto gold card before attaching to a ivory 7" x 7" card
blank. The sentiment was also embossed and cut into a flag shape, also layered
onto gold card. To finish I added some gold metal embellishments. </span><br />

and for this I went for a snowy, frosty scene. I took a piece of flat white
card and stamped the house at the centre. I then painted <a href="http://www.chocolatebaroque.com/"><span style="color: blue;">Pebeo Drawing
Gum </span></a>over the entire image to mask it. When dry (only a few minutes)
I sponged some clouds and mountains onto the background using a piece of torn
card and Distress inks leaving the bottom just white. I used a dotty stencil
and white ink to add some snow. </span><span style="color: black; font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-ansi-language: EN-GB; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-language: EN-GB;"></span><br />

light shading using a grey pen. I also added some snow drifts using grey. The
sentiment was stamped using a dark blue inkpad.</span><span style="color: black; font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-ansi-language: EN-GB; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-language: EN-GB;"></span><br />

attaching to a 8" x 8" white card blank. To finish I added white
liquid pearls to the house & snowy landscape and sprinkled with crystal
glitter. I also attached some die cut "icicles" to the top of the
design.</span><br />

<span style="color: black; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 12.0pt;">Hi everyone it's my turn on the Chocolate Baroque Design Team blog today with
some samples from the July Hochanda show when the Christmas stamps were
launched. </span><span style="color: black; font-family: "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 12.0pt;"></span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: black; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 12.0pt;">So today I have gnomes for you, namely <a href="http://www.chocolatebaroque.com/"><span style="color: blue;">A Tomte
Christmas</span></a></span><span style="color: black; font-family: "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 12.0pt;"></span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: black; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 12.0pt;"><br />
My first design is a tri fold card made from Kraft card. For the backgrounds I
have taken a piece of <a href="http://www.chocolatebaroque.com/"><span style="color: blue;">White Silk Board</span></a> and I have sponged with Distress
inks Wild honey, Fired Brick and Chipped Sapphire. I splattered with water and
mopped with kitchen paper to remove the ink. I then over stencilled with a
swirl and snowflakes. The gnomes were stamped with a black inkpad & water
coloured with Distress inks. I stencilled snowflakes onto the centre panel
before adding the sentiment which was stamped onto a punched label. The
embellishments at the corners have been made with clear 3D pads and transfer
foils.</span><span style="color: black; font-family: "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 12.0pt;"></span><br />

my second design I have taken 2 stamps and made them work together which they
do so beautifully. I've taken a piece of White Silk Board again & stamped
with a black inkpad. I water coloured this time with mica paints to give a lovely
pearly look. The image was mounted onto silver mirror card and then onto a
wider piece of black sparkle card before attaching to a white 5" x 7"
card blank.</span></span></div>

we have a monochromatic look which gives a night- time look to the design. I
created the background by giving a piece of card a fairly wet wash with blue
Distress ink and then sprinkling with rock salt. Leave to dry naturally and
then brush off the salt. I love this technique as you never quite know what
you'll get. I've coloured the 2 stamped images with water- based pens in a
selection of blue shades and highlighted the white areas with white gel pen.
The 2 panels have been mounted onto navy card before attaching to a

I then
stamped more gnomes to each side and then rubbed away the drawing gum before
colouring with water based pens. Then sky has been coloured with Distress inks
and then I used a stencil and a baby wipe to remove some of the ink to
give a snowy effect. i edged the image with blue ink before attaching to a
6" x 6" white card blank. The sentiment was stamped at the top and
bottom using a blue inkpad.</span><br />

<span style="color: black; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 12.0pt;">Hi everyone here are some of my samples for my
first Hochanda show since I joined the Design Team boy, was I nervous and
excited! </span><br />
<span style="color: black; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 12.0pt;">First we have the gorgeous </span><span style="color: black; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 12.0pt;"><a href="http://www.chocolatebaroque.co.uk/"><span style="color: blue;">The Christmas Garden</span></a>, I just love all the detail
in this stamp. </span><span style="background: white; color: black; font-size: 12pt;"><span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">For
the first design I've printed with a brown inkpad and coloured using metallic
pencils. I distressed the edges of the image before mounting onto Kraft card
and then purple card. The ivory card blank is an 8" x 8". I've used
the corner foliage stamp which comes with the set to add detail to the corners
of the card blank using purple ink. To add the finishing touch I've added some
pearls.</span></span><br />

<span style="color: black; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;">For the second design using The Christmas Garden I have stamped
using a black inkpad and coloured with pencils. When finished I covered the
entire surface with embossing ink and covered with a clear rainbow powder which
gives a lovely sparkling effect. The card blank again is an 8" x 8"
and I've finished off with a frothy tulle bow and some sparkly gems</span><span style="color: black;"></span></div>

Circles</span></a> but 2 very different looks. For the first one I have stamped
the image onto a die cut circle using a black inkpad and coloured with pencils.
I stamped the lower part of the stamp again so that I could decoupage the
poinsettia. I mounted the image onto an embossed die cut circle and used a
doily and some dark green velvet paper for the background. Oops! Spot the
deliberate mistake? No sentiment!!</span><span style="color: black; font-family: "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 12.0pt;"></span><br />

<br />
<span style="color: black; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 12.0pt;">For my second take on the same stamp I've white
embossed onto a die cut circle of Kraft card which is one of my favourite
techniques. I've just added some soft shading using a white water colour pencil
as I find that water colour pencils give a stronger colour when using Kraft
card. I've used the small poinsettia stamp from <a href="http://www.chocolatebaroque.com/"><span style="color: blue;">The Christmas
Garden</span></a> for the card blank itself which is a 6" x 6". The
sentiment has been embossed onto a tag and held in place with ribbon.</span><br />

<span style="color: black; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 12.0pt;">Still with the <a href="http://www.chocolatebaroque.com/"><span style="color: blue;">Christmas
Circles</span></a> we have the robin this time and firstly I've chosen not to
go for a circular shape this time. This image has been stamped with black ink
and embossed with clear powder before water colouring with <a href="http://www.chocolatebaroque.com/"><span style="color: blue;">Koh-I-Nor
water colours</span></a>. I've also stamped the holly from the stamp onto the
edges of the sentiment tag. The card blank is a ivory A5 which has been stamped
with <a href="http://www.chocolatebaroque.com/"><span style="color: blue;">Large
Crackle Background</span></a> and brown ink. I've sponged around the edges of
the image, the tag and the card blank with Distress ink Tea Die. To finish I've
added some die cut holly and foliage and red ribbon.</span><br />

<span lang="EN-US" style="background: white; color: black; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;">For my second look at the robin I decided to give
it a snowy theme with a shaker card. Coloured softly with pencils onto white
card it forms the background to the shaker card. I then die cut a circle from
some blue gingham card and attached a piece of acetate toe the back. Next seal
all around the edges of the circle on the reverse with 3D foam tape. Place a
small pile of shaker materials in the centre of the robin image (I used a mix
of small beads & snowflakes) and then carefully place the outer layer over
the background. To finish I've added some faux stitching .</span></span></div>

I love all the great background stamps from CB & my first design is just concentrating on using <a href="http://www.chocolatebaroque.com/">Damask Panel</a>. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">I started out by embossing 3 times on white card using a black inkpad & clear embossing powder. That done I got out my Distress inks & sponged Seedless Preserves & Salty Ocean softly over the entire area. I then cut around 2 pieces leaving a narrow border & then mounted onto black card. The card blank is a white DL used sideways & as you can see I've attached one piece at the bottom right of the card & then turned the other piece up the other way & mounted it slightly over the bottom piece & standing up over the top of the fold of the card. I used 3D foam tape for this piece to give some dimension. From the 3d piece I die cut the tag & layered it onto some white card. The sentiment which has been stamped onto a punched circle comes from <a href="http://www.chocolatebaroque.com/">Words to Dazzle & Sparkle</a> & I've edged the circle with a black pen. To finish I've punched 3 smaller circles, edged them also with black & attached to the bottom left.</span><br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">For my next design I've used one of my favourites, the very useful <a href="http://www.chocolatebaroque.com/">Mosaic Flower</a>. I'm a great fan of monochromatic designs using just one colour but this technique using a spot of colour works well to for quite a dramatic effect.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">I've stamped twice & coloured one piece with simply red & grey pens. I've then punched 4 circles from the image & again edged them with black pen. I've then simply over laid them onto the other image matching up the design carefully. The 5" x 7" white card blank has been randomly stamped with <a href="http://www.chocolatebaroque.com/">On the Tiles</a> & a grey inkpad & the image mounted onto red card before attaching to card blank. The sentiment once again comes from <a href="http://www.chocolatebaroque.com/">Words to Dazzle & Sparkle</a>. </span></div>

My 3rd design is a December birthday greeting using <a href="http://www.chocolatebaroque.com/">Hark the Christmas Rose</a> stamped onto <a href="http://www.chocolatebaroque.com/">White Silk Board</a><span id="goog_638339954"></span><span id="goog_638339955"></span> with black ink & embossed with clear embossing powder. I've water coloured with the gorgeous <a href="http://www.chocolatebaroque.com/">Koh-I-Noor water colour palette</a> & mounted onto brown card before attaching to a 6" x 6" ivory card blank. To finish I've wrapped some baker's twine around the fold of the card. The cute birthday greeting comes from the newly launched Christmas stamps, <a href="http://www.chocolatebaroque.com/">Christmas Circles</a>.</div>

<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">I was asked recently what was the first Chocolate Baroque stamp that I bought? What better way to introduce myself to you all!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">So let's start off with <a href="http://www.chocolatebaroque.com/">Medici Flower</a> stamped onto a Brusho background with a black inkpad & simply coloured with water based pens. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"></span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">
<div style="text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgDOm0zsUuN7gEYCvlPdG0t9-LKyJOg3bh2pWjkTLb37iMFSpnmIo3gHKEEEwC_k3KJeCPNt8bZY4E9y-GzsOu6g1bIFWg0Q4idTSwIzvKvBKfOpEMclHdY-Ta2IMCkzqXDDAY3oBmzmRQ/s1600/IMG_20190626_101835214+%25282%2529.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="-webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; color: #0066cc; font-family: &quot; font-size: 16px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; letter-spacing: normal; margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; orphans: 2; text-align: center; text-decoration: underline; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; word-spacing: 0px;"><img border="0" data-original-height="862" data-original-width="786" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgDOm0zsUuN7gEYCvlPdG0t9-LKyJOg3bh2pWjkTLb37iMFSpnmIo3gHKEEEwC_k3KJeCPNt8bZY4E9y-GzsOu6g1bIFWg0Q4idTSwIzvKvBKfOpEMclHdY-Ta2IMCkzqXDDAY3oBmzmRQ/s400/IMG_20190626_101835214+%25282%2529.jpg" width="363" /></a><b></b><i></i><u></u><sub></sub><sup></sup><strike></strike></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
</span><span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">The image was then mounted onto black card & I've added thin strips of black card to the background to add interest. The background has been created with <a href="http://www.chocolatebaroque.com/">Studded Lattice</a> which I have embossed with white powder & sponged with Distress inks Worn Lipstick & Spun Sugar. The sentiment comes from <a href="http://www.chocolatebaroque.com/">Amazing Mackintosh Words</a>. I've mounted the design onto an A5 white card blank. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"> I have used a 7" x 7" ivory card blank & this has been stamped with <a href="http://www.chocolatebaroque.com/">Open Weave</a> using a brown inkpad & I've also sponged lightly around the edges of the card blank. </span><br />

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
</span><span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"> I've embossed in white onto a circle of Kraft card & coloured with water colour pencils which have <i>not </i>been activated with water. I find that you get stronger colour when using Kraft card than with ordinary pencils. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">I've used a 7" x 7" white card blank which I've stamped with <a href="http://www.chocolatebaroque.com/">Square Bubbles</a> using Distress ink Seedless Preserves. I've also softly sponged around the edges using the same inkpad.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">As before the sentiments with which I've randomly stamped around the edges of the card blank come from the very versatile Amazing Mackintosh Words. To finish I've added some faux stitching around the edge of the circle using a white gel pen before attaching to the card blank.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">A few weeks ago I had a lovely surprise & was invited to write a blog review of some of the great products from <a href="http://www.hunkydorycrafts.co.uk/">Hunkydory</a>. Well I didn't need asking twice did I? There followed a very enjoyable evening (or 2!) perusing their great, very easy to use, website.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Now I must admit that I haven't been very familiar with many of their products & was a little under the misapprehension that it was mostly Decoupage, cardstock, paper pads etc. How wrong I was! Anyone who knows me knows I love my stamps & I was pleasantly surprised to find a great selection of <a href="http://www.hunkydorycrafts.co.uk/">Hunkydory</a> own brand stamps. So below is my selection (that took a while I can tell you because I wanted it all!!) & following are the designs made from all the yummy products. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">I started off with "A Nice Tipple" decoupage sheet. The card is great quality, beautiful gilding & very easy to pop out. Lots of very nice usable sentiments for any occasion plus decorative strips to enhance your design. I made 2 cards from the set & I always like to gently shape the pieces with a large ball tool on the under side & go around the edges with a black/dark marker pen. I used silicone glue to put the pieces together as you can match the design easier & vary the thickness in places too.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Here I used 6 x 6 card & completely covered the front with the background sheet which comes with the set.

<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">For my 2nd design I used a 7 x 7 card blank & cut away half the front from top to bottom. I then used another piece from the background sheet to cover the piece remaining & mounted the decoupage topper onto green card which I then attached to the centre of the card blank by it's left side. To the inside of the card I then attached a strip which had also come from the background sheet. To complete I added some sentiments & decorative strips.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">I incorporated some of the very pretty & versatile papers from the paper pad "Foxy & Friends" which lent themselves beautifully to the summery, feminine look of the decoupage sheet.

<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">I used a 7 x 7 white card blank for my first design & covered the front with one of the papers. they are double sided so complement each other very well. Here I've used the topper & finished with a sentiment strip & a circular greeting. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">I've cut an aperture in a A5 card blank & attached a piece of paper to the inside. I then used the rest of the decoupage on the inside of the card, added some punched butterflies, sentiments & corner pieces from the background sheet & you have card number 3.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Now here's a confession! I didn't know that <a href="http://www.hunkydorycrafts.co.uk/">Hunkydory</a> made stamps! I know.... how could I have missed that?! They have a great range of photo polymer (clear) stamps covering all kinds of themes. Again very good quality, fine detail & easy to use whether on an acrylic block or in your stamp platform. I'm a lover of scenes & also water colouring so "A House by the River" ticked all boxes. There's a lot more to choose from in this range too so do check it out as just perfect for the men in out lives.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">I was working on a 8 x 8 white card this time & as I said I have water coloured the image. I stamped onto water colour card stock using Versafine Onyx Black. When dry I applied Versamark over the entire image & then covered with clear embossing powder which I then heated for a clean glossy look. The stamp set includes 2 useful sentiments one of which I've used at the bottom. I've used papers from "Foxy & Friends" again for this & to punch some small leaves which I have placed around the edges of the frame. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: large;"><b><u> Cosy Couple</u></b></span></div>
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"></span><span style="font-size: large;"></span><b></b><u></u><br />
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">The second stamp set I chose is this cute & quirky one, I'm always on the lookout for stamps with a touch of humour & again <a href="http://www.hunkydorycrafts.co.uk/">Hunkydory</a> did not disappoint. There are several other <span style="background-color: white; color: black; display: inline; float: none; font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: 16px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; letter-spacing: normal; text-align: left; text-decoration: none; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; word-spacing: 0px;">stamps in this range so if you're looking for stamps to raise a smile check these out.</span></span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">I used this stamp in conjunction with "Foxy & Friends" paper pad & also a pack of pre die cut</span><span style="background-color: white; color: #001000; font-family: "helvetica neue" , "helmet" , "freesans" , "helvetica" , "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"> </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #001000; font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"> gatefold heart shaped card blanks, 300gsm. Here again <a href="http://www.hunkydorycrafts.co.uk/">Hunkydory</a> have a whole range of card packs in various shapes, sizes & themes & excellent quality.</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #001000; font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="background-color: white; color: #001000; font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">For my design I used mostly papers to paper piece the stamped image & the paper pad has ideal papers for this technique as most have a small pattern. One word of warning is the inkpad which you use. The papers have a slight glossy finish so an ink like Versafine will not dry so I used Brilliance Graphite Black & just set aside for a few minutes then you're good to go. I coloured the hair, faces etc with coloured pencils. I covered the card blank itself with </span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #001000; font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">co ordinating papers & added a die cut greeting on the outside. The stamp set comes with a lovely sentiment which I've used on the inside of the card. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Here are</span> <span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">some Fathers Day gift & card ideas using the new A4 Cork sheets for Stix2. (S57421)</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">These sheets are very versatile for all kinds of craft work & can be successfully stamped &, coloured using marker pens or watercolour pencils. They die cut really well & can be used with heavy duty Fiskars punches too. Stencils with Distress inks work well too. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Why not make Dad his own personal calendar for next year using the Stix2 mini calendars which are now in stock ready for 2020 (S57423). </span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; text-align: left;">New to the <a href="http://www.stix2.co.uk/">Stix2</a> range & available at the end of August we have the small calendars (pack of 10) which are great for creating your own calendars from artwork, craft projects or your favourite photos. These are very handy for creating unique gifts & projects for workshops too. Here are a couple of ideas using plenty of other <a href="http://www.stix2.co.uk/">Stix2</a> products.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Here I've taken a 5 x 7 cream card blank, cut it down in half down the fold & reassemble it (longways.) I've then folded the top in half to form an easel card. The photo has been printed onto <a href="http://www.stix2.co.uk/">Stix2</a> Printable acetate (S57183) & I've attached a second piece of the acetate onto which I've printed a sentiment over the photo using Micro Dots on a Roll (S57124) The card used is from the Gingham range in green (new!) & lemon. As you can see from the photos below the calendar, which has been mounted onto the base with 3D foam tape, acts as the stop bar but you can take the front further back to reveal a pad of post it notes.This would be useful to have on your desk & would make a great gift , you could personalise it with a photo of your own choice </span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">For my second sample I've made another desk calendar but this time using stamps from <a href="http://www.chocolatebaroque.co.uk/">Chocolate Baroque</a>. I've stamped the image onto a piece of card which has been sprayed with the Stix2 spray paints. I've loosely cut around the outline & mounted it onto the new navy & violet card from the Stix2 Tinted card range. The base of the calendar has been made from a piece from the Pearlescent card range (Platinum). With the card in landscape mode, score at 3.5" internals with the last small section being used to form a tab to join the 2 ends together. I've used red liner tape to hold the base firmly together.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Monday saw me doing all the mundane usual things, you know, house work & the highlight of the week the trip to Tesco. ARGHHH! I had my personal shopper with me this week in the form of Mr Frosty. That can be both a blessing & a hazard. The blessing comes at the packing stage as we have a good system going there but he does tend to inhibit browsing as he thinks I might be tempted to spend too much!! Hah! As if! So Monday usually passes in a blur of domestic bliss- not!!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Tuesday was the day for my first workshop day at Imagine Design Create Seaton. I was feeling nervous, excited & with a little trepidation thrown in too. Have I packed everything? Get a grip you're going to be working in a craft shop!! Will they like me & my style of work? They've booked haven't they? And... breathe!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">So, I set off early being reliably informed by my transport manager(Mr Frosty again) that it should take me no longer than 35-40 minutes to drive there. Hmmm! He hadn't factored in getting through Colaton Raleigh in the "rush hour". For those of you reading this (is there anyone reading this?!) CR is a small village on route to Seaton (Seaton is a mere 20 miles further along the coast from Exmouth where I live) & a bit of a bottleneck.Traffic was at a stand still with people getting out of their cars & milling about. Stress levels went up a few more notches as I was convinced that there must have been a "major incident" up ahead & I was going to be late! Turned out on enquiry to the local friendly postman, that it was no more than 2 large vehicles trying to inch their way past each other on the narrow country roads. Phew! Now calm down Deb! I was soon bowling along again. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Well my day at Imagine Design Create was a joy & I was made to feel very welcome & appreciated by the ladies participating in both my workshops. By the end of the day we were getting on like we'd all known each other for years, having a laugh & pulling each others legs. As it should be! I was so pleased that they had enjoyed it so much that they had all booked there & then for next month's workshop day on Tuesday 10th July.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Another day, another workshop as Wednesday saw me away to our regular monthly Wednesday morning workshop at the Pilgrim rooms Glenorchy church Exmouth. This week our project was "Paper Mosaics" in 2 very different forms. We were a small but very select group this time & as my crafty partner Jan had only just landed back on our shores after her hols in Turkey a matter of hours before I had volunteered to take the first class so that she could have a bit of a lie in. More chat, coffee & putting the world to rights went on as we worked diligently on my mosaic project which had a more traditional style to Jan's contemporary one-that's why we work so well together!. Boy was I glad to see Jan appear about 10.30 as I was having visions about her being stranded at a Turkish airport! I seemed like ages since I'd seen her, I do miss my crafty bestie when she's away! </span><br />

<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">It was good to get out into the garden in the afternoon & have a bit of peace & quiet doing a bit of tidying & deadheading. I always find that really therapeutic especially after a hectic couple of days. My roses are particularly good this year & I'm wondering if "the beast from the east" did some good in killing off some </span><span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">diseases. Every cloud & all that.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">I'm a regular member of our village church & was recently persuaded (against my better judgement) to join the team of flower arrangers who make the church look so beautiful. My reluctance stems from me not being any type of flower arranger not from a reluctance to help, may I add quickly. My idea of flower arranging is take 'em out of the wrapping & deposit in a vase of water, no fiddling about required. My fellow flower arrangers at last weeks meeting assured me that I'd soon pick it up & there was nothing to it......we'll see! So on Friday morning I set off for church for my first turn on the rota.I have to say that under the expert guidance of Sue (what patience!) I really got into it & thoroughly enjoyed myself. The results weren't half bad either!</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">So that about completes the week. I'm away to church in the morning to recharge my spiritual batteries & to restore order to the chaos of life. As a committed Christian my time in my Fathers house I liken to charging my mobile. I plug in, immerse myself in the fellowship of my church family & ask God to speak to me as I speak to Him. </span><br />
