Copper Tree scene card created for the Chocolate Baroque TV show on The Craft Channel

I created this one for Chocolate Baroque as a TV show sample for the recent Brusho’s show on the Craft Channel. Lesley was brilliant! You can still watch the show on catch up if you missed it.

Materials:

• Design-A-Tree Glade and Woodland, Words of Inspiration stamp sets
• Kraft card blank (approx. 18 X 14.5cm), black card for mat, watercolour card (approx. 14 X 11cm)
• Brusho’s (yellows, greens and brown)
• Inkpads: Versafine (Vintage Sepia and Onyx Black)
• Alcohol ink marker and fine tipped marker (black)
• Glue pad for stamping and gold mix gilding flakes (Honey Doo Crafts – Rolling Hills)
• Organza ribbon (green)

Step By Step:

1. Paint Brusho onto the watercolour card. Whilst still wet drop on some of the crystals and spritz with water to create the tree foliage and foreground. Dry.
2. Stamp the tree with glue and apply the gilding flakes. Press down the flakes and leave for a few minutes before buffing off with a sponge (to remove the excess). Clean the stamp quickly to remove any glue residue.
3. Use the fine tipped pen to add some shading to the tree and draw in a base to anchor the tree.
4. Stamp the leaves with Sepia ink, and the sentiment with black ink.
5. Edge the card with black marker. Attach the ribbon and bow and mount onto black card, and then glue to card front.
