Quick and Easy Floral Harmony card created for Chocolate Baroque

Good morning. Today I am sharing another of my show samples for Chocolate Baroque using another of the lovely stamps recently featured on Hochanda. This is also a quick and easy one using the Floral Harmony stamp.

Materials:

• Floral Harmony and Mackintosh Sentiments stamps
• 14.5cm card blank (white), stamping card (white)
• Ink sprays (pinkish burgundy and teal with mica)
• Versamark Inkpad
• WOW Embossing Powder (detail white)
• Alcohol marker (burgundy)

How to make it:

1. Stamp and heat emboss the image and sentiment with white powder.
2. Spray over the image with ink sprays, spraying more pink ink over the flower. While the ink is still wet drag out the colour over the stamped image using a damp brush. The embossed line makes this quick and easy. Use a little extra water and blotting with tissue where the colour needs lifting out and lightening.
3. Drag some of the ink out across the base to anchor the image. I used a hair dryer to speed up the drying (a heat gun can bleach out some of the colour and may re-melt the embossing).
4. Outline the topper with burgundy pen to frame and glue to the card front.
