New DT position and my first make

 

Hello, I would like to share a couple of pieces of news with you, firstly this make is for Chocolate Baroque which I have just become a GDT member for, it's a term of 3 month with the possibility of a permanent position.

They do have a show on Friday 7th May at 9am and 1pm on The Craft Store (Hochanda), this is one of my samples I have made using Dutch House and The Orchard Tree, they are being shown on the first show and then there are some super new stamps for the second show.

I went for the monochrome look, stamping my house, then from a different stamp added the fence, then added the orchard tree, all embossed in black.  I divided the image into three sections then matted and layered them.

Hope you are all very well and on your way to being fully vaccinated.

Happy crafting
