Playing with chocolate baroque sewing stamps

Hello lovelies! How are you? I'm good and managed to run without getting soaked today! Every little helps! I'm hoping the weather is going to be much better tomorrow!

I have a card to share with you today that I made using stamps from the new chocolate baroque sewing stamps - they are a gorgeous set - I really enjoyed playing with these - especially after having watched the first lesson in my craftsy course by Marje Kemper. Such a wonderful teacher.


I used abandoned coral, frayed burlap and brushed corduroy distress inks to create the background and also some TH layering stencils and some of the smaller stamps from the sets,


The bodices and lace and pincushions were stamped separately and fussy cut before being added. I used distress markers to colour these in mowed lawn, peacock feathers and abandoned coral plus distress inks in AC and frayed burlap. The sentiment stamp is also chocolate baroque.

I enjoyed playing with these stamps and look forward to using them again soon! The card is for my swap partner in the current Joanna sheen card swap.

Big hugs to you and thanks for any comments you choose to leave. I'm off to see the English National Opera do Pirates of Penzance tonight - its live but in the cinema - looking forward to it!

Catch you later.

Hugs
