Hi there, today's card share features some more of the scrumptious new clear stamps from Chocolate Baroque, this time I've used the focal image from 'Moonlit Waterfall' which I've coloured with distress markers.
I stamped and embossed the main image with WOW Gold detail EP black card and cut out the frame, layering it up over the image with 3d foam for some depth. I didn't think this beautiful little scene needed a lot of embellishments so I created a background using the delicate dragonfly silhouette stamps from the same stamp sheet. I stamped the dragonflies with versamark and again embossed with gold EP. To finish off I've added some gold braid and a glossy black button from my stash.
I'm entering this card in the following challenges:
Art with no Boundaries: anything goes +Asian inspired
Delicious Doodles: Harvest Moon
Gingerloft: embossing
The Squirrel and the Fox: anything goes
Thanks for popping by today

This is a gorgeous stamped scene Claire. The first thing I noticed was the lovely frame. Very effective and makes the whole card very elegant.Your stamped dragonfly background is fab.

Very striking - especially the way the navy draws the eye towards the deep blue of the waterfall. The colouring is terrific & there's such light on that water that you can imagine it glistening. Love the bead & thread embellishing & your perfect positioning of those dragonflies for the background pattern (not easy I know). The stone escarpment has me thinking of the bus route through the Beacons to Cardiff where there are very similar cascades of water (this just looks so touchably real).
