One for the Scrap Book

Well we are now into May, doesn't the time just go. And this month we have a return guest deisgner, Gerrina, who will be inspiring us with three beautiful projects.  Her first this week is a scrapbook layout, which makes a nice change for CB. So here we go, over to Gerrina.

So glad that it is my turn for Guest designers-posts at Chocolate Baroque! Three weeks in a row I  have some projectsfor you.

My first project is a Lay Out, just to show you how easy you can use the stamps from Chocolate Baroque for one:

Materials:

• Stamps: Tangled Fragments and Punky Flowers
• Ink: Memento Bahama Blue and Lady Bug, Distress Ink Salty Ocean, Cracked Pistachio, Fossilized Amber and Mustard Seed
• Other: White scrap paper, cardboard from a cookies package, blending tool, watercolour paper, waterbrush, yellow and red cardstock

• Mat the photo on yellow and red cardstock. 
• Stamp the background stamps in blue, green and yellow Distress and Memento ink, so that they form a frame for the matted photo. 
• Stamp the flowers and steampunk cogs with their base behind the photo randomly. 
• Stamp the steampunk tulip twice in red and once in blue on a piece of stamping paper and colour them with a waterbrush and cut them out. 
• Colour the carrogated cardboard blue with the blending tool and Blue Distress Ink and cut it in pieces just as you need. 
• Glue the cardboard, the photo and the coloured tulips on the lay out.

 

Hope you liked this first project, I shall be here again next week.

I think many of us forget to use stamps when scrapbooking so this is a great idea, thank you Gerrina and we look forward to seeing what you have in store for us next week.
