Fantasy Woodland Birthday Card created for Chocolate Baroque

Good afternoon. This was another of my recent show samples created for Chocolate Baroque using the Fantasy Woodland stamp set.

Materials:

• Fantasy Woodland and Birthday Words stamp sets
• A5 ready made card blank with scalloped edge, patterned paper with script
• Inkpads: Versamark and variegated pigment ink (purple & blues)
• WOW embossing Powders (Clear Gloss, detail white)
• Water based opaque Gouache paint (white)
• Pen (opaque white), glitter pens (pink, green)
• Glitter glue (clear)
• Faux gem flowers (pink, green)
• Corner rounder punch

How it was done:

1. The paper was trimmed and the corners rounded off with a punch.
2. The trees were stamped with Versamark and embossed with white powder, the sentiment with pigment ink and clear powder.
3. The scene was extended at the based, and faux stitching added, using the white pen.
4. A little thinned white gouache was added behind the sentiment to emphasise it slightly. I wanted it to be subtle but visible.
5. The flowers were coloured with glitter pens and faux gems stuck onto the centre tree.
6. Finally I added a little clear glitter glue for more sparkle.
