Hi everyone
Thank you for stopping by.
I hope you have had a great weekend.
If, this is your first visit to the Chocolate Baroque blog, then a big warm welcome. Grab yourself a cup of coffee and have a good look around. There is a new post every day with inspiring projects and fabulous ideas on how to use the stamps.
Today I would like to share two projects made using the new Ladys Slipper Orchid (Cling Singles) Rubber Stamp.
There are four new amazing stamps in the Cling Singles Range .

My first project is a fridge magnet but with a small alteration this could also be a book cover, a little hanging or an embellishment for a wooden box.
To make this project
Paint a piece of MDF (approx size 9cms x 13 cms) with Gesso.
Apply a coat of purple craft paint and leave to dry.
Apply a coat of cream colored craft paint roughly over the purple and remove some of the cream paint, using a wet wipe, allowing the purple to show through a little.
When the base coat is dry, add a tiny hint of yellow craft paint using a dry brush.
Sand if necessary to give a good smooth stamping surface.
Stamp the image onto the prepared piece using Black Archival Ink.

Chocolate Baroque have a large selection of MDF and wooden products on their website which are ideal for painting and stamping onto and which can be seen HERE.
My second project is a quick and easy card.
To make this card
Apply some Distress Inks to a piece of white card stock (approx size 9 cm x 13 cm).
Stamp the image using a permanent ink.
Using a damp paint brush, remove some of the Distress Ink from the stamped flower image.
Fix the inks with a spray fixative and (optional) seal with a gel medium.
Make up the card as seen.
Thank you for looking
Have a great week.

Wow, these look so beautiful! Great backgrounds and love the colours!
ReplyDeleteYour second project is my favourite here - the use of the Distress Inks for the background & then bleaching them out with water is a super idea for the focal image & so effective, especially with your white matting to both echo & provide contrast with the patterned paper. Your squared off corners details on the focal panel are a lovely touch.
