Chocolate Baroque - Final August Project

Good morning everyone,

The month of August has flown by.  Hard to believe that this is my third and final project as this month’s Guest Design Team member.  It’s been wonderful.

 We’re going to end with the flower theme and coloring with Distress Inks.

 

  Supplies:

   Stamps – Loving Sentiments Rubber Stamp sheet-A5, Auricula Script

   Distress Inks – Pickled Raspberry, Dried Marigold, Twisted Citron, Worn Lipstick

   Ranger Archival Ink-Jet Black

   White cardstock, dark pink & pink cardstock

   Waterbrush-Detailer Tip

   Double sided Foam Tape

   Gold cardstock

   Corner punch

   Gold sticker strips

 Stamp the image onto white cardstock with Archival ink. Taking the Distress ink pad, Pickled Raspberry, smush it onto a non stick surface. Then pick up the colour with your waterbrush and begin painting in the image.

Start with your lightest colour, let dry slightly, then come in with your darker colours for contrast.  In order to get deeper colours, use let water, to blend, add more water.  If you feel you’ve got too much water, simply dab with paper towel.  You may have to go over certain areas a few times to create depth of color.

Once piece is dry, fussy cut out the image, leaving a small border.

Once piece is dry, cut white cardstock to 5 ½” x 8 ½” (13.97cm x 21.59cm) and fold in half.  Cut a piece of pink cardstock to 4” x 5 ¼” (10.16cm x 13.34cm).  Punch corners with corner punch, and add gold strips of stickers for interest.  Cut 2 strip of dark pink cardstock, one ¼” x 5 ¼” (.60cm x 13.34cm), and the other one ¾” x 5 ¼” (1.90cm x 13.34cm) and attach to middle of pink layer.  Attach to front of card.

Attach image to card front with foam tape.

Stamp saying with Archival ink onto white card stock, trim and mat with gold cardstock.  Use corner punch to punch corners of saying & attach to card. 

Thank you so much to checking out my project.

Chocolate Baroque - Guest Design Team spot - Project #2

 Good day all my crafty peeps,

Here we are midway through August.  I'd say this is year is passing by, but honestly I'll be glad when it's over.  This year has been insane.

Here is my next project using Chocolate Baroque stamps and Distress Oxide inks!

Here are the instructions.

Supplies:

   Stamps – Loving Sentiments Rubber Stamp sheet-A5, Floral Perfumery Rubber Stamp sheet-A5

   Distress Oxide Inks

   Versamark Watermark stamp pad

   Versafine – Onyx Black

   White embossing powder

   Paper – Black cardstock, light blue cardstock, dark blue cardstock

   Waterbrush-Detailer Tip

   Double sided Foam Tape

   Heat tool

   Silver photo corner stickers

Stamp the image onto black cardstock with Versamark ink.  Sprinkle on white embossing powder, tapping off excess.  Heat set the powder with your heat gun.

Taking the Distress ink pad, smush it onto a non stick surface.

Then pick up the colour with your waterbrush and begin painting in the image.

The unique thing about the Distress Oxide inks is that they are opaque on dark colored cardstock and dry permanent.

Use less water if you want to have deeper colors.

You may have to go over certain areas a few times to create depth of color, and remember to let each layer dry  before adding on the next coat.

Once piece is dry, fussy cut out the image, leaving a small border.

Cut the black cardstock to 5 ¼” x 10 ½” (13.34cm x 26.67cm) and fold in half.

Cut a piece of light blue cardstock to 4 ½” x 4 ½” (11.43cm x 11.43cm) and layer onto cardstock base.  Next cut dark blue cardstock, 4 ¼” x 4 ¼”(10.80cm x 10.8cm) and place onto card.

Attach image to card using foam tape, towards right side of card.

Stamp the saying onto the white cardstock card with Archival ink, and mat with light blue cardstock.

Attach the saying to the front, then adhere the photo corner stickers.

 Thank you for stopping by and remember to check out all the new stamps and wonderful colouring mediums at Chocolate Baroque.

Happy Crafting!!

Chocolate Baroque - Guest Design Team member

Good morning my crafty peeps, I’m extremely excited to have been asked to be a Guest Design Team member for this month. Chocolate Baroque has so many new and exciting designs in stamps it’s often hard to choose which ones to use..
Since we are in the middle of the dog days of summer here in Florida, I decided to go with a flower theme.

Supplies: Stamps – Loving Sentiments Rubber Stamp sheet-A5, Ladys Slipper Orchid Colour-Brusho Crystal Colour (Set of 24-Crimson, Violet, Lemon Yellow, Sea Green, and Turquoise) Ranger Archival Ink-Jet Black Paper – Watercolor paper, cardstock Waterbrush-Detailer Tip Water Spritzer Bottles-2 pack Double sided Foam Tape Gold photo corner stickers

Cut the watercolor paper to 4” x 5 ¼” (10.16cm x 13.34cm) and stamp the image using Archival ink. When you first begin using your Brusho colors, take a thumb tack, and pierce a hole in the top. I cannot stress enough that a little goes a long way. Lightly spritz the paper with water. This will help the watercolors blend easier.

Being by sprinkling which ever color of Brusho you want to start with onto a non stick surface, then using your watercolor brush, mix a bit of water with the crystals and begin painting in the stamp. Use less water if you want to have deeper colors, and you can mix the colors together to create a specific shade.
Let each color dry before going onto the next color, which will help lessen the chance of colors bleeding together.

Once piece is dry, cut the dark purple cardstock to 5 ½” x 8 ½” (13.97cm x 21.59cm) and fold in half. Cut a piece of light purple cardstock to 4” x 5 ¼”(10.16cm x 13.34cm) and layer onto cardstock base. Next cut a strip of medium purple cardstock, 4” x 1 ¾”(10.16cm x 4.45cm) and place on right hand side of mat. Cut out your image and layer onto card, using foam tape. Stamp the saying onto the white cardstock card with Archival ink, and mat with gold cardstock. Attach the saying to the front, then adhere the photo corner stickers.

Thank you so much to checking out my project, and please join me next week, when I use inks to colour in the stamps.
