Wreaths And Feathers

Welcome to my blog, it's mid way for Stamping Sensations and We Love Chocolate Baroque challenges, So if you haven't joined in yet there is still time.

At Stamping Sensations  this month the theme is 'Autumn Glory' , for my first card I have used a sponsors image of Dora's called Toadstool,  First I made a frame with distress inks and stamped leaves and splashed with a gold Posca pen.  I coloured the image with water coloured pencils.  For my second card I created a wreath using Lavinia stamps, the sentiment is a magazine freebie.  This was only my second go at doing a wreath, I enjoyed using my little worker stamps which are only £1 from Lavinia apart from the pinecone branch.  My other wreath is a Christmas one coming to my blog next month.  On that one I used red berries but on this Autumn one I did orange berries.

We have sponsorship this Month from

 Stamp Addicts with a fab £25 store voucher. 

And our very own Dora who designs some wonderful images, the winner will be able to choose some images from her store.

This is for the following challenges:-

1. 2 Crafty Critter Crazies - #43 - Anything goes - entering my wreath with rabbits

And of course, the Design Team have created some stunners to inspire you. Please do pay them a visit to their individual blogs - it means a lot to know you appreciate their efforts.

And now onto my second challenge creations for We Love Chocolate Baroque, where the theme is 'Anything Goes', It would be nice if you could use a chocolate Baroque stamp for this challenge, but if you don't have any you can join in with other brands.

I created  this using Chocolate Baroque's stamp set I Shall Be Your Wings, so I created a distress Oxide background In speckled egg and Tumbled glass, I then stamped the feathers with versa mark and embossed in white, and gave them some sparkle with Glamour dust.  I added the sentiment and finished it with some Liquid pearls.  This card is for my eldest Son's Birthday on 24th October, he would have been 25 years old, we lost him two years ago but we still celebrate his Birthday as if he is still here.

Our prize:-
Is the winners choice of an A4 Chocolate Baroque stamp set, or stamps to the same value. We will also be on the lookout for our next Featured Designer selected from entries using Chocolate Baroque stamps.
