Today I am sharing some more creations made for the November's shows for Chocolate Baroque. For my first card I used Distress Oxides to make my background, simply by applying the ink to my glass mat, spraying with water and smooching my card into it. I left the top right hand corner white to break it up a bit, and for a place to add my sentiment which is from the Harmony Tree set. I stamped the large tree from the stamp set Trees A crowd, using some oxide I coloured in some grass around the base of the tree.
For this creation I did something a little different to my normal style, I really enjoyed playing with this technique which I was inspired to do after watching Lesley's workshop on shading with pencil. So I started by stamping the Butterfly from the stamp set Happy Flower's Day I shaded the butterfly using just normal HB pencils, then using a stencil and Distress Oxide inks in several colours created a background. It's a very clean and simple card, but effective.
Thank you for allowing me to show you my cards, I will be back towards the end of the month with some more.
Thank you
Happy crafting

Both cards are beautiful in different ways Tracy … your smooshing on card 1 is fabulous, and love your delicate shading and stencilling on card 2

Both are beautiful, Tracy! You are so good with the smooshing technique, mine never quite turn out as pretty, but maybe I need to keep trying!
And really loving that soft stenciling in different colors around the butterfly on your second card.
Wishing you and your family and Merry Christmas and happy and healthy New Year!
