Guest Post - A Thank You Bouquet by Jan Thompson

Our guest blog spot this week belongs to Jan Thompson, who has chosen to create this lovely tag. So it's all yours Jan.

I was so thrilled Glenda asked me to Guest DT for Chocolate Baroque so I had a play and this is what I came up with. 

• I cut the tag out on my Silhouette Portrait die cutting machine using Kraft card.
• Using Floral Bouquet I stamped the main image with Versamark and then embossed with black embossing powder. 
• I then coloured the flowers with Picked Raspberry, Seedless Preserves & Crushed Olive distress inks. Tip: Make sure each colour of ink is dry before adding the next one so that they don't bleed together.
• Next, to create a background, I stamped randomly around the main image with the Teeny Weeny Meadow stamps using Crushed Olive.
• When everything was completely dry I distressed the edges with the Picked Raspberry to emphasise the colour in the bouquet.
• Finally I added some twine and the Thank You message.

Hope you like it.
