Delightful Dragons

Delightful Dragons



This card is a bit of self indulgence on my part, I have always held a fascination for dragons but I think it stems from a song that was popular when I was young, Puff the magic dragon, I remember it well though many of you I dare say will be to young to of even heard of it.

I have had this set of stamps for quite some time but never quite got round to using it but now that I have I dare say it will be out again soon.

Products used in the making of this card ;

Here Be Dragons stamp set
Round Gelli plate image made using inkpads and liquid brushos
Stamped using Versafine Clair Nocturne
Coloured using watercolour brush pens
Base layer cut out from card stash

Thanks for looking

Mackintosh Beauty




Mackintosh Beauty




With Valentines day just around the corner when I was browsing through my collection of Chocolate Baroque stamps for this blog post, a beautiful set of stamps just fitted everything I was looking for it oozes romance. The Mackintosh Beauty set is divine, you can do as little or be as elaborate as you wish and it stamps perfectly. The sentiment however comes from The Rose stamp script and works so well on this card.

Products used in the making of this card ;

The Mackintosh Beauty
The Rose Stamp Script
Ranger Archival Inkpad - Plum
Chocolate Baroque silk card
Black card and 8x8 card from stash
Alcohol ink pens and Blender pen

Thanks for looking

The Joy of creating



The Joy of Creating




This card is a fairly quick make using the latest of Chocolate Baroque's fabulous background splash designer papers, stamped and then using a background of my own making, stamped, cut out, coloured and using 3d glue gel mounted onto the background and left to dry, it only needs one hour before it can be safely popped into an envelope but I do err on the side of caution and leave for longer. Of course if you are in a rush then you can use foam pads instead.


Products used in making this card;

Big Bold Leafy Background stamp set
Bird of Joy stamp set
Chocolate Baroque Designer papers
Chalk Ink Pads and Clear sparkle pen to paint.
Nocturne Versafine Clair inkpad
5 x 5 card blank 
Base layer of variegated blue paper from stash.
