Katya and flower fields

 

The new challenges at We Love Chocolate Baroque and Stamping Sensations challenge begin today. 

My first DT card is for the We Love Chocolate Baroque challenge where we want to see Feminine makes.  My card uses the Katya stamp which I just love. I embossed her in gold powder onto a piece of wood effect paper. (I had in mind a panel from a Russian triptych.) I coloured the image with watercolours. The sentiment is from Words to Dazzle and Sparkle. 

Lesley from Chocolate Baroque will be on Hochanda tomorrow 4th January with a One Day Special featuring brand new stamps, the first show is at 6pm GMT with more shows throughout Tuesday.

For the Stamping Sensations challenge  we want to see your favourite stamps. One of my favourites is this Stampendous stamp called flower fields. I stamped and embossed the image in ivory powder and then used the resist technique with the CE mica watercolour inks. It's very sparkly in real life! The sentiment is from the Chocolate Baroque stamp set Amazing Mackintosh words.
