Harlequin Rose card created for Chocolate Baroque

 

Good morning. Here is my contribution to the Chocolate Baroque Colour Challenge this month. I used the lovely Harlequin Rose stamp.

Materials:

• Harlequin Rose stamp set
• Kraft card blank, brown card and white stamping card
• Inkpads: Distress Ink (Mustard Seed, Barn Door, Gathered Twigs, Peacock Feathers), Versafine Inkpad (Vintage Sepia)
• WOW Embossing Powder (Clear Gloss)
• Spectrum Noir Sparkle pen (clear)
• Fine tipped pen (brown)
• PVA pearls and ribbon (turquoise)
• Decorative dies

How it was done:

1. The main image was stamped with Versafine and embossed with clear powder. I coloured it with Distress Inks and added some sparkle with clear sparkle pen.
2. The image was cut out using a die. Whilst the shape was still in the die I coloured it with gathered Twigs Distress Ink around the edges. I then removed the shape and added faux stitching around the edge.
3. I cut the background mat in brown card, layered everything up and glued to the card front, adding the ribbon strip.
4. Finally finished with PVA pearls.
