Chocolate Baroque on TV again Whoop whoop!

Good morning Lovelies, I'm back today not with any samples for Chocolate Baroque unfortunately as they are top secret, but I am here to let you know that our fabulous Lesley Wharton is back on our screens from tomorrow evening (Friday 4th December) on The Craft Channel starting at 6pm and repeated over the weekend on the Weekend Wonder, with some fantastic new stamps, you don't want to miss it xx

So here are some more of my recent creations:

We have a lot of birthdays over Christmas and mostly men, so here are some very quick cards using stamps and Brusho's

Indigoblu Stamps and distress inks for our little foster baby's first Christmas, love having a little one here, he's 10 months old and full of gorgeous cheekiness, unfortunately we can't put up our usual big tree this year as he is very mobile and it wouldn't be safe, so lots of Christmas ornaments up high I think? Lol bless him, so exciting :)

This bear card I'm entering into the Indigoblu Challenge - Winter Blue

Lavinia Stamps and Penny Black Stamps, I was asked to recreate my DT card for Lavinia stamps Challenge that posted yesterday, me being me couldn't possibly do the exactly the same card twice so I've kept it similar, I hope she like it, she had the other one too?

Penny Black and Memory Box stamps and dies here.

Thank you for stopping by today, I really love to read your comments, have a great day xx Zoe xx

Zoe - Challenge #12 December - "Let it snow"

Good morning Lovelies! Wow can you believe the big man with a white beard will be coming very soon ;) I hope you're all prepared for the seasonal festivities?

There is a superb prize of £40 to spend in the online store, winner is chosen by random widget.org thingy!

My first card I used circle dies as a base and frame, I die cut the deer Celtic die using double sided adhesive sheet on card and rubbed gilding flakes over the sticky side, I mounted onto a gold card and added white glue with glitter and few gems and sequins.

Disress inks and stamps used on my second card.

My third card is my first attempt at the "Northern Lights Technique" I'm pretty pleased how it turned out. It doesn't show so well, but I stamped the reflection using my SplodgeAway mat and memento ink and I drew a line between the image and reflection with a silver glitter pen, the snow is Liquid Pearls and glitter.

Wk 1 Challenge #17 Chocolate Baroque -Zoe

Good morning Lovelies, I hope everyone is managing to keep safe, dry and warm with all the awful weather hitting us, fortunately down here on the south east coast we haven't had it too bad, fingers crossed it stays that way.

Today I'm sharing with you my project for Chocolate Baroque Colour Challenge #17 here is the Colour Swatch to follow and below that is my Bookmark.

 

I used this Greyboard bookmark from the Postcard and Bookmark pk I started by painting with white Gesso and then a Chalk paint, I used Flitterglu onto a piece of Cut and Dry foam as an Inkpad and stamped using part of Decorative Edges stamp set and then added gilding flakes and scrubbed off the residue, then using a Black Archival Inkpad stamped using the gorgeous Wisteria Lane stamp set, I added a few highlights using a gold glitter pen and inked the edges using Aged Mahogany Disress ink.

Thank you for visiting today, I hope you feel inspired enough to join in the challenge, have a great day xx Zoe xx
