I've got an easy card project to share with you, featuring the Palm Fan Silhouette Baroque Ornament stamp. This card is a luxurious blend of spice and gold and full of eastern promise. Think Arabian Nights and heady scents of Moroccan souks.
I prepared the background with a blend of Distress Inks: Spiced Marmalade, Rusty Hinge, Dried Marigold, Mustard Seed, Fossilised Amber, a touch of Dusty Concord and a hint of Seedless Preserves.
Next I worked on the focal images. I stamped the ornaments on a card the same size as the background and heat embossed it with WOW Rich Gold EP. Then I coloured it with Distress Inks: Aged Mahogany in the middle and blending out with Carved Pumpkin. For contrast I inked the outer edges with Chipped Sapphire.
After fussy cutting the ornaments in one piece, I adhered it over the prepared card base with foam tape, exposing the inky background.
The greeting is from Loving Sentiments A5 stamp sheet, stamped with VersaFine Majestic Blue.
Here's a closer look at the ornament. Gorgeous design and with clear, crisp lines. A joy to emboss too!
