As you may well know, I've been extremely busy lately putting all my energy into building a new website for Chocolate Baroque. We finally finished and launched it just this week and as well as a fresh new layout and better navigation, we launched a brand new collection of individual cling mounted stamps. Our wonderful designer, Sue, has done it again - aren't these gorgeous!
I managed to squeeze in a little stamping time recently, but with most of my creative energy going into decisions about fonts sizes and heading colours, my crafting had to be super simple. To me, that's the beauty of this collection of stamps - you don't really need to do much with them to get a good looking card.
The green panel on this card is a piece of watercolour paper, coloured with Distress Stains over which I have embossed the image in black. I cut carefully around the swirls and layered it onto white then black and onto a 7 inch square card, with the corner flourishes from the gorgeous Butterfly Dreams stamp set.
I also had a little play with Stampbord. These pieces are all coloured with dye inks or distress stains or a mixture of both. I stamped with black Archival ink on all of them.
It's been a long time since we did a giveaway on the blog, so I'm going to ask you to pop over to the new website and check it out - read the new website guide if you have time (there's a link on the home page) and let me know what you think.
I will pick three lucky winners on Monday (22nd Dec) to receive a mystery Chocolate Baroque stamp bundle. Who knows, it could be your lucky day!
Have a great weekend everyone,
