GDT for Chocolate Baroque.

Hi everyday it's a busy blog day for me today. My 1st post is a tag I made for Chocolate Baroque.

Thank you to Glenda for asking me to join is as GDT.

I cut the tag out on my Silhouette Portrait die cutting machine using Kraft card.

Using Floral Bouquet I stamped the main image with Versamark and then embossed with black embossing powder. 

I then coloured the flowers with Picked Raspberry, Seedless Preserves & Crushed Olive distress inks. Tip: Make sure each colour of ink is dry before adding the next one so that they don't bleed together.

Next, to create a background, I stamped randomly around the main image with the Teeny Weeny Meadow stamps using Crushed Olive.

When everything was completely dry I distressed the edges with the Picked Raspberry to emphasise the colour in the bouquet.

Finally I added some twine and the Thank You mess

Back soon with another post.
