Poppy Meadow

Hello, all!  Here in Tennessee, we have had a fairly mild summer.   It's been around 10 degrees lower on average all summer, but I'll bet we'll see some of the hot stuff before Autumn arrives.  We've had quite a bit of rain, so there are a lot of flowers in bloom.

Speaking of blooming - you're going to want to get this new set of gorgeous floral stamps from Chocolate Baroque, called Poppy Meadow!  This set compliments a few other sets from Chocolate Baroque, and they are fantastic to mix and match with! 

 

Here is the set, and if you click on the name or the photo, you will fly directly to the Chocolate Baroque website page, where you can get more details on the fabulous set which will become a fave!

My Soul Finds Rest

My soul finds rest in God alone; My salvation comes from Him.  He alone is my rock and salvation;  He is my fortress, I will never be shaken.     Psalm 62: 1-2

 

This says it all!  The stamp images are from My Daily Bread stamps, and the flowers are actual dried flowers from a bouquet my husband gave me.  I used gold chunky glitter for the flower center.

 

 

 

The Guard at the Taj Mahal

Hello all!  I hope you're enjoying some beautiful Spring weather wherever you are!   What an amazing bunch of new stamps Chocolate Baroque has come out with this month! I've combined them with some that came out last month - so versatile and fun to play with!  I used two new stamp sets on this card, some masking and die cutting. The stamp sets are: Punky Flowers, and Indian Textiles. Just wait until next month!!! More gorgeous stamps to come, that will be perfect with these! Keep an eye out for possible sneaky-peeks! 

The gilded gate isn't shown very well in this photo, and is very shiny. 

I used a mask and sponge dauber to make the clouds.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

   

Pretty Flowers

Hello, All! Have you seen the newest flower stamps from Chocolate Baroque?

The set is called Punky Flowers, and goes well with any other "Steampunk" set in the CB line! Awesome! I love black and fuschia together - one of the most striking color combos I've seen!




































  

I think this flower stamp from the Punky Flowers set is going to be a favorite of mine! It doesn't feel so much like "steampunk", but I really like it's structure, and it will go well with the new Indian Elephants set released last month, as well as many other sets!  

 

The sentiment "I'M GRATEFUL" is from the Words of Gratitude set. 

 

 

Steampunk Christmas Ornaments

Hello!  I know it's too early for Christmas, but I'm participating in the Christmas Card group with Chocolate Baroque, and this card was the theme for last month's card using silver and gold.  When I looked at the new stamps, they were upside down, and that's how I got the idea to make ornaments out of them.  This new stamp set is called PUNKY FLOWERS, which you can see below the card.

I covered the white card base with gold glittered tulle, and tied a gold sparkly cord at the top.  The "ornaments" were heat embossed in gold and silver, hand-cut out, applied over some green die cut "branches" from my stash, then decorated with gold and white half-pearls.

 Thanks for visiting!  I appreciate you stopping by, leaving a note or pinning me!  :)

Indian Elephant!

More amazing new rubber stamps from Chocolate Baroque! These images have an Indian flavor, are so very detailed and fun to color! You'll love them!

I used two stamps from the Indian Elephant set, shown below. The card is 6" by 5 1/2".   The flowers used to decorate the elephant and edge of the diecut are from the Big Bold Backgrounds Belle Flowers stamp - a huge 5.5" x 5.5" solid rubber stamp (released last month)!  These are must-haves!  Aren't these stamps amazing?!  Just click on the stamp set names above to be taken directly to the Chocolate Baroque website where you'll find more information on these specific sets. 

  



I know you'll love these, and they are so versatile!  They are so fun, fantastic and flavorful!

With Deepest Sympathy

A friend loaned me some of her stamps, and this sentiment was one of those which just screamed, "Use me!"  I love the cool colors of coral and olive.  It just feels soothing... the butterfly and rose were die cuts given to me by my friend Donna, (or loaned me the die to cut it out myself), and the hydrangea flowers were done with a punch.  The background die cut is one from Heartfelt Creations.

 

Wild Purple Rose (by Clare)

 

Hello, everyone! I hope you are well, and warm!

Here's a card made with the Chocolate Baroque stamps, Wild Rose Sprig, Big Bold Background Belle Flowers and the Words of Gratitude sets. Very detailed, yet very easy to use. You'll love 'em!

 I heat embossed the Belle Flower background in white, then sponged some ink over the flowers.   Thanks for stopping by! Take care, and Happy Stamping!  And, stay cool!

Yummy New "Chocolatey" Stamp Sets!

 

Hello! As you probably already know, Fantasy Woodland was the new stamp set of the month for February by Chocolate Baroque!  What an amazing set of stamps - so many different types of trees and beautiful images to work with! Click on the name of the set and you will be taken directly to the stamp set on the website, where you can see all of the stamps in this set.

Below are a couple of projects I made using this set, and I hope they'll inspire you a little! There are so many great projects that the design team has made, so please check out the Chocolate Baroque blog for more ideas! The little house is from the set, Home Sweet Home, as well as the wheat grass. The bottom border is from a brand new clear set, called Floral Edges, released February 14! There are two other clear edge sets that have also been released - Decorative Edges and Landscape Edges - please check them out! They are awesome!

My next sample has the orange tree image from the Fantasy Woodland set, and several "Thank you's" from the Words of Gratitude set. Those oranges look good enough to eat!



My next card is framed with one of the trees from the clear Fantasy Woodland set. I used several dies to cut out the shapes, and hand made the roses. 



This card was made with last month's new set, called The Rose Tree. I used the new clear Floral Edges on the background.

I've enjoyed your visit, and hope you did too! Thanks for stopping in!
