My rubber stash holds quite a few Chocolate Baroque stamps from back in the days of Elusive Images. The fine details and beautiful drawing make these make them unusual and very elegant stamps. So when Brenda asked me if I would come on board at We Love Chocolate Baroque as a Guest DT I was delighted to be able to accept.
The theme this month is Favourite Stamp. Well that made me laugh, a favourite stamp? That depends on what day it is, where we are in the Lunar cycle, what side of the bed I got up and all manner of other random things. So for this occasion the first plate I ever bought provided the images used.
Over the weekend when I made this a lot of my time was given over to my Granddaughter. We can chat for hours on the phone our relationship is special and precious hence the choice of sentiment.
A John Next Door die used for the first time gave a card the perfect size for the stamp chosen. Said Stamp has been embossed with Gold EP, the rose lightly coloured with Whisper pens. The edges were then dusted with pink/red DI that was still on the inkylicious duster. The pink ribbon was cut from some item of clothing.
I decided the design needed a colourful mat and found some DP offcuts from a previous project. The cut with a scrap of gold mira card, the was also being used for the first time and was a recent prize. Delighted to report that Izzy has given the card her stamp of approval.
You do not have to use a Chocolate Baroque stamp to enter the challenge, just your favourite, or one of them, stamp. The team have all made some fabulous samples to inspire them so I hope you will go and visit them, where? We Love Chocolate Baroque of course.

ReplyDeleteI know, it's a crazy theme and I never can choose, there are only so many times you can showcase Stampendous P107 (remember back to my classes and I am sure this one will be memorable). But it's a nice open one for entrants.
ReplyDeleteAnyhows, I am so pleased you make a decision and created tis beauty and equally pleased to have your as our Guest Designer at We Love Chocolate Baroque, thank you.
Now if I recall there is someone on Pole at 2pm and something or the other happening at that time, so maybe I'll ring you about then (wouldn't dare really). Fingers crossed the boy call pull it off.
