Sketchy Doodle Flowers - Cards By Florence

Hi everyone

If, this is your first visit to the Chocolate Baroque blog, a big warm welcome. 

Today I would like to share two simple card designs using the new Sketchy Doodle Flower Stamps.

I hope you like them.

If you are new to rubber stamping sometimes it can be a little daunting stamping straight onto a large card.  A simple solution to this, is to use a smaller base canvas to stamp onto and then add it to your card as a topper.

I cut a circle out of white card stock and stamped the flower just off the edge of the circle and added a small butterfly.
I colored the flower and butterfly with water color crayons.
I then colored the edge of the stamped card circle using a sponge and Distress Inks.
For the base I stamped the Harlequin pattern and the sentiment onto a piece of white card and trimmed it to size.

I made the card up as seen using foam pads to attach the focal piece.

Ink used : Archival Ink - Black and Cornflower Blue.

Please note that the butterfly stamp I have used on both of these cards is not included in the Sketchy Doodle Flower Set but is from the Butterfly Doodle Set.

For the card above, I stamped the image using a multi colored dye ink pad onto coated card stock.
I added the small butterfly using Black Archival Ink.
For the heads of the flowers I stamped just the top of the flowers onto coated card stock using Vermillion Archival Ink, cut them out and then decoupaged them onto the main image.
I made the card up as seen.

It has been a real joy working with the new Sketchy Doodle Flower Stamps this month.  I have made a few more projects using these stamps which can be seen on my card blog here.

Thank you for looking
Happy Stamping
