More chocolate baroque quickies

Hello there! On the chocolate baroque blog today there are some amazing quick makes from the design team and these are the ones I did for the piece ...

For this one I stamped an image from the fluttering hearts set in versamark on a sheet of patterned paper and heat set in white embossing powder. I also added colour using pencil.

This one is a coaster that I stamped on using a stamp from the punky romance set ...I had already painted it using acrylic paint then simply coloured the butterflies in pencils.

I used a stencil to create the background in this one then stamped the image from punky romance..

Finally more punky romance stamps and pixie powders added to the card... 

I hope these quick makes will have given you some inspiration!

15 minute makes for Chocolate Baroque

Good morning! Thankyou for dropping by! I hope you are well. We are all good and excited about the school holidays! Yay! Happy girls!

Its 15 minute make day over on the chocolate baroque blog today - I have three cards to share with you:

For this one I used a mask to add the shape then overstamped and coloured the flowers in pencils.

This one was a simple stamping and colouring again with pencils before adding the pen around the edges.

This one I did onto a background that was already there in the pile - its a distress oxide bckground and I overstamped then added colour in pencil. 

Three quick and simple cards - there are masses more ideas on the design team blog.

Big hugs and hope you have a great day!

15 minute makes for Chocolate Baroque

Hello there! I do hope you are well! Its time for my mid month quickie makes from the December shows for Chocolate baroque. There are many other inspirations over on the design team blog so please check it out! Here's what I did:

I started with a gelli print then added some same colour stamping. Next I cut a large circle and coloured that with distress oxide then stamped the bird centrally. I added a fussy cut bird on top and the black dots around the edge.

This one is another gelli print from a session I had and I simply added the bird stamps along with the meadow grasses too.

I must get some more gelli prints made up - they are so very useful for quick cards!

15 minute makes for Chocolate Baroque

Hello there! I'm back today with more inspiration for quick cards using your stamps from chocolate baroque. There's even more inspiration on the blog which you will find over here.

This one was so simple - I just used distress inks through a circular stencil then stamped some grass stamps over the top!

For this one I used the butterfly mask from chocolate baroque and also one of their stamps. I used distress ink through the mask and then overstamped...again very simple but I think it is pretty effective.

Finally a distress ink background and then overstamping in like colours before adding the main image and again painting in like ink colours.

Check out the quickies from my teamies - you'll be amazed!

15 minute makes for chocolate baroque

Hello there! I am posting some 15 minute makes that I did for the September shows for Chocolate Baroque today. One you have already seen so I'll leave that one until last.

Simpe stamping, masking, overstamping and then colouring the image.....

Stamping the central area and colouring and then quickly adding distress around the edges and overstamping.

This one was stamping in versa on kraft and then heat setting with white embossing powder and then colouring in pencil.

Finally stamping in flitterglu, adding flake and then colouring in pencil!

I hope you can check out the design team blog for more inspiration!

15 min makes from the Christmas Chocolate Baroque show

Hello lovelies! How are you? Things here are busy but good. The girls are in the theatre all week preparing for a production of Grease on Friday Night. I am really looking forward to seeing it! Anyway - that means I can play and I had a lovely time at the pottery studio yesterday - and tomorrow I am off on a card making class with Jane Gill from Woodware. Should be good!

On the Chocolate Baroque blog today there are lots of inspirational cards that can be made in only 15 minutes - here are my makes...I will try to explain briefly how I did them!

I stamped the bauble in black archival, masked and also masked the card before applying red distress ink and spritzing and flicking with water. Once I removed the masks I added a little red distress in the bauble and added the sentiment.

A simple tag made by applying versamark to my stamp and stamping on a pre made background then setting in white embossing powder.

This one I simply stamped the wreath using different green inks and different stamps then added the black image at the front and the sentiment centrally.

And finally this one I masked the top and bottom of the card and used yellowish ink to colour the colour the main background. Then I repeatedly stamped the tree and used a pen to add marks around them. Finally I stamped the sentiment.

I hope this has given you some ideas for creating some quick cards!

Have a great day!

Quick makes for Chocolate Baroque

Hello there! How are you today? I hope you are fine and well ... if not sending huge hugs to you!

Today I have some more quick makes using CB stamps.

This one I simply stamped in versamark, set with white embossing powder and coloured with pencils then added some doodling lines.

This one was simply stamped and coloured then I masked the image using a band of tape and inked the remaining card.

This one was super quick - I already had the background card ready but it was simply made using pixie powders. Then I stamped the image and coloured using pens.

I hope that gives you a bit of inspiration for some quick makes!

More 15 min makes for Chocolate Baroque.

Good morning all! How are you? I do hope you are well and happy! More chocolate baroque for you today. I have two cards from last months shows involving the feather stamps. Two simple, quick cards to make....

This one was stamped in archival black ink directly onto a premade distress ink background - it could have been onto paper! I just then stamped the background stamp and added the topper! Simples!

This one involved multiple stamping with some feather stamps in versamark and then setting with white embossing powder. Then I added brushos and water ..... finally i stamped and added a sentiment!

Have a great Saturday - school fair day for us!

Big hugs

15 minute makes at Chocolate Baroque

Hello there - over on the chocolatebaroque blog today there are some 15 minute makes to inspire you to make a card even if you're in a hurry. My cards from this post are as follows:

This one is simple stamping and embossing in white. The detail in the stamps means they can be used simply in this way to produce an effective card.

In this one I stamped in black archival then added some brushos and used a paint brush to pull out some of the colour in the land part of the stamp.

This one was so quick - I masked the sun then used torn paper, stencil brushes and distress ink to create the landscpe before filling in the sun and doing the landscape.

I do hope these inspire you to get your stamps out for that last minute card!
