Tulips

The other day I received my new stamps from the Chocolate Baroque Stamp Club and decided it to ink them before I put them away. So using the small stamp and Versafine Black Onyx I stamped out twice onto some smooth card stock, and coloured them in using Spectrum Noir pencils. The first I coloured using the colours from the current Chocolate Baroque Challenge and then made a background for it using Distress Inks in co-ordinating colours. Then I added a sentiment the from new Thinking Of You sentiments and a ribbon to match. This will be sent out today to a friend who has just received some very bad news.



 The second I coloured in shades of red and I made a background using Distress Inks in Lipstick Red and Abandoned Coral, I overstamped in Fired Brick Distress Ink with a swirl from the Patchwork Butterflies stamp set. This time I added a sentiment from the new Card Sentiments stamps. Both cards were made using 5x5 card Bases.

I would also like to enter the top card into the current Chocolate Baroque Challenge.


Just need to get the large stamp out and ink that one now.

Thanks for taking the time to look and your kind comments which are always appreciated.

Hi Sue, thanks for your visits & comments on my blog! You are so kind especially when I've not managed to return the compliment recently. I do always see your lovely designs on the FB group though.

Loved these two when I saw them the other day. I particularly like the way the colours works together on the first one and your colouring is beautiful. Love these tulip stamps!

Like the effect of blocks of colour in the background on your 1st card Sue. Sits well with the block stamp and combining the colours makes it all link together...x
