Easter Bunting created for Chocolate Baroque

Good evening. The recent shows on Hochanda featuring the Russian themed stamps and stencils from Chocolate Baroque were simply brill – great demos and such a lovely range of samples from my Teamies. If you missed the shows they do remain available online for a while so you can catch up on the FAB demos from Lesley Wharton.

I am sharing one of my show samples today created with the lovely Russian Floral egg. These stamps are exclusive to Hochanda until the end of the month. After that they will be available directly from Chocolate Baroque.

This stamp would also make lovely bunting for a summer garden party or wedding, stamped onto flag or triangular card or fabric joined with ribbon.
 
Materials:

• Russian Floral Egg (sold out individually on Hochanda) and Spring Bird Daffodil stamp sets
• Coloured pastel card (blues, pinks, purples, lemon)
• Detail heat embossing powder (opaque white)
• Sparkle pens (clear and gold)
• Versamark Inkpad
• Pinflair Craft Glaze
• Alphabet dies (Create & Craft Couture)
• Mini wooden pegs
• Florists ribbon (white) and embroidery thread (variegated sparkly metallic)

 
How to make it:

1. Stamp the eggs 6 times with Versamark onto coloured card and heat emboss with white powder. Colour with clear sparkle pen and cut out. Paint over some areas with clear glaze (darkens the background colour and enhances the glitter effect).
2. Die cut the letters and coat with glaze. Glue to the wooden pegs. Glue the pegs to the easter eggs catching in the thread for hanging.
3. Stamp and emboss the large daffodil bunch onto lemon card 10 times. You only need the area with the large flower head. Colour with gold sparkle pen blending out the colour with water. Cut out the daffodil head. Glue the daffodils back to back along the thread between the eggs. Note: the daffodils do tend to flip along the strand which is why I backed them with another flower head.
4. Finish by tying on small strips of florist ribbon (curl with the edge of your scissors).
