Good evening. Just catching up with blogging a few more of my recent show samples created for Chocolate Baroque on Hochanda. This one was created with the Harlequin Bouquet stamp.

Materials:

• Harlequin Bouquet and Loving Sentiments stamps
• A5 hammered card blank, Kraft card, white stamping card
• Inkpads: Archival Ink (Jet Black), Distress Ink (Antique Linen), pigment ink (gold)

How to make it:

1. Ink up the harlequin part of the stamp with Distress Ink and stamp over the card blank to create background texture.
2. Repeat stamp the sentiment with gold pigment ink and heat emboss with the clear powder.
3. Stamp the image with Archival Ink and colour with watercolour and sparkle pens. Add some pencil shading for added texture.
4. Cut the oval frame from Kraft card and rub over with a little gilding wax.
