As I announced last week we are starting a new Guest Design Team who will feature here three times a month and today I want to reveal their identities.
The following talented ladies are all going to
contribute to the GT so, in no particular order, here are the names
of the six team members:
Corine Van Kulenberg
Veronica Pell
Gerrina Poncin
Brenda Weatherill
Shilpa Nagaonkar
Lesley Ebdon
I know that you will be inspired by their
diverse creations. So without further ado, here is the very first
project which is designed by Lesley.
Hi everyone, my
name is Lesley and having been a Chocolate Baroque addict since seeing
Glenda on TV a good few years ago now, I've previously been privileged
to be a member of the Design Team in the past. Unfortunately real life
got in the way for a while (as it does sometimes) and I had to 'drop
out' but my love of Chocolate Baroque has never wavered so I am thrilled
to be rejoining the team briefly and doing a guest spot or three this month with some pretty awesome
new Christmas stamps.
Nobody does Christmas better than Chocolate
Baroque in my opinion so I was more than happy that I got to play with
these pretty sets, Christmas Candlelight and Sparkling Trees. Thanks Lesley W, they're fab! They are really finely
detailed and stamp beautifully (as always) and have got me off to an
early start with my Christmas cards. I hope you like the first piece I'm
sharing today which is a gift as well a card.
Christmas Luminary Card
My current favourite style is quite a clean look. I won't say simple because this style does call for very careful stamping but it does allow the gorgeous stamp designs to take centre stage.
Most of the products I've used are available from
Chocolate Baroque and include a mix of metallic Pan Pastels, gilding flakes and
embossing powder. If you would like to see how I created my luminary I'd
love to see you over on my blog http://craftymammalovenhugs.blogspot.co.uk/.
You can also find me on good old Facebook here https://www.facebook.com/lesley.ebdon
and on Pinterest here https://www.pinterest.com/craftymamma2/
I'd love if you have time to leave a comment and I'll
be back next Wednesday to share another project with you. Have a lovely week in
the meantime.
Hugs
Lesley Xx
