White Christmas Challenge at Chocolate Baroque

You're not going to want to miss Glenda's 'White Christmas' Challenge, the winner receives a gift voucher for Chocolate Baroque and the more people that enter, the bigger the prize will be!  And some of the entries that showcase Chocolate Baroque stamps will be featured over on the Chocolate Baroque DT blog over Christmas too. How exciting!

 

I've made an easel card using one of the stamps from Home Sweet Home stamp sheet from Chocolate Baroque (of course lol) I stamped the image on watercolour card with sepia versafine and watercoloured with distress inks (antique linen, tea dye and vintage photo). I created the easel card  from kraft card using nesties and also die cut the image and distressed with lots more vintage photo and tea dye DI. I added lots of Glenda's Snowflake glitter and created flowers using fabric and Krealies 18, I coloured the cotton with vintage photo distress ink and added faux pearls to the centres. The larger flowers are rolled ribbon roses made using Ivory Lace ribbon. I die cut the foliage using scraps of kraft and Krealies Shapes 11.

For the base of the easel I used a sentiment stamp from Chocolate Baroque, I'm not sure if its available at the minute but its one of my favourites. You can see the detail here


I'm also entering this card in the following challenges:

Make it Monday with Kraft: Christmas
Oh la la: Lots of sparkle
Sparkles forum challenge: Vintage Christmas
Stamptacular Sunday: anything Christmas 
Sugar Creek Hollow: fancy folds
Totally Papercrafts: Christmas

Thanks for visiting today
hugs

    Very different indeed & I love the vintage look you created combining so many textures. The dimensional appearance given by your layering & distressing is phenomenol. Those floral sprays are something quite special.
