Mystic Night card created for Chocolate Baroque

 

Good morning. Here is another of my samples for the recent TV shows on Hochanda featuring the Spring Fairies stamp sets. I had so much fun with these.

Materials:

• Spring Fairies Collection (March Fairy, Butterflies from March, April and May)
• Floral/foliage stencil and circle template
• 13.5 X 18cm card blank, card (black, turquoise glitter and white stamping)
• Watercolours with mica (green, pink)
• Watercolour pencils (flesh, blue, green, pink)
• Clear sparkle pen
• Stickles glitter glue (Star Dust)
• Glitter paste (turquoise)
• Versafine (Onyx Black)

How to make it:

1. Apply glitter paste through the stencil onto black card using a palette knife. Leave to dry.
2. Paint the background and moon using sparkly mica paints. Use a circle template to help (I used a circle die to draw around). Glue mats and layers to the card front.
3. Stamp the fairy and butterflies onto white stamping card and cut out. Colour with pencils and paints with mica. Shape and glue to the card front with 3D glue gel.
4. Finish with Stickles for added sparkle.

Quick and Easy Floral Thank You card created for Chocolate Baroque

Here is another quick and easy card using a ready made aperture card and the flower stamp from the Spring Fairies April set (recently featured on Hochanda TV). I stamped onto watercolour card, colouring the stamp directly with watercolour pens. To activate the ink I lightly spritzed it with water just before stamping. I then used a damp brush to drag out some of the colour.
