screen and stepper cards

  For my last post this month for Chocolate Baroque I have a concertina screen card to share, uising a blank from a kit I bought many years ago which folds down to DL size.

I tried to use stamps from all three sets stamped in versafine black and coloured with watercolour pencils.

The first panels use images from do right always .

and the final two use the pipe of peace from catching dreams and the hide from hold on.

The same card kit also included some stepper card blanks (shows how long I've had this, think stepper cards went out of fashion long ago!) and one of them inspired this card.

I stamped the tepees onto a piece of drawing carridge using black versafine ink, colouring with watercolour paints before fastening to the back step.

The totem was stamped and painted as were the cacti and then fussy cut out and glued onto the the step.

The pipe of peace was also fussy cut after stamping and painting, and glued at an angle across the front. The sentiment was stamped in black ink, edged with marker pen and added to the front.

midnight camp

Sharing a card I made for the Chocolate Baroque show last month on Hochanda featuring some lovely native Indian designs by Kim Moody.
Very much a last-minute make, when i suddenly realised that there was a fire in the midst of the camp (don't know what else I thought it could be earlier!) which led to the idea of a night scene.
i used a grey card as the base, stamped the images in black versafine and used watercolours to colour the scene., with white pen to highlight.
The large cactus and the camp stamp are both from Chocolate Baroque

Pipe of peace

 

 Good morning , I hope that today you will like the cards I have to share using the lovely new stamps drawn by Kim Moody for Chocolate Baroque - something very different, and all the DT have really enjoyed working with them.

The main image is the dreamcatcher from the catching dreams set, the pipe of peace and the words are also in this set, and the totem is from do right always.

I started with a piece of kraft card, about 5.5x7.5 inches, and stamped the totem,  and the pipe twice using a brown dyebased inkpad. The dreamcatcher was stamped in black versafine clair and clear embossed, and then the sentiments in the black versafine .The dreamcatcher was coloured with watercolour paints.  

Once everything was dry, I die cut the word from the image. The base black mat was cut to fit an A5 white card, then the kraft card layered on. I added foam pads to the cutout letters, then glued them in place slightly offset to give more of a 3D effect.

My second card used the same technique, using the tomahawk and the pipe behind the dreamcatcher this time and the sentiment from the hold on set, and this time I die cut the word dream and added a small white layer between the black mat and the image.
