Guest Blog Post - Live Laugh Love by Linda Simpson

This is the final in a trio of guest posts from Linda Simpson, who has created a wonderful stepper card using the Tangled Fragments and Flora and Fauna.

Here is my final card as part of the Chocolate Baroque Design Team

1. The base card is a centre stepper cream card on which I stamped one of the stamps from the Tangled Fragments set with Versafine Imperial Purple. I then matted and layered purple card onto the centre of the card.

2.  The background of the topper was created using shaving foam and inkadinks in Lilac Heaven and using a cocktail stick to swirl the ink into the foam, I then placed the card onto the foam. Once I was happy that all the card was covered with the foam I lifted it off and removed the excess shaving foam to reveal the pattern.

3. I stamped the image with Imperial Purple and embossed, then matted and layered onto the purple card.

4. I stamped the dragonfly from the Flora and Fauna set onto the excess patterned card with Imperial Purple and embossed, cut out and adhered to the card with Pinflair.

5. To finish off I added Tim Holtz Chit Chat Words, Live, Laugh and Love.
