If it ain't Baroque, don't fix it..........

Corny I know...................



You know how you get those annoying adverts that flash on and off on some websites? This is where I got the inspiration for this card, it was actually a pile of cushions, but, hey, I'll take inspiration from anywhere at the moment!!

My base card is Certainly Celery with a Whisper White insert. On a piece of Basic Black I have stamped the swirl from Baroque Motifs in Versamark and then heat embossed it with clear embossing powder. A knot of the gorgeous black and white striped grosgrain was added around the black card before I attached it to the card front. The flower and the circle it sits on is made using Whisper White, Certainly Celery and Basic Black cardstock circles, punched out using a variety of Stampin' Up! circle punches. The circles for the flower were scrunched up and attached together with a Crystal brad in the centre. The greeting is from Pocket Silhouettes stamp set punched out with the Word Window punch.

The photo looks a bit skewiff, but I was trying to get the light shining on the embossing. You should know by now that photography is not my strong point!!

Sweet Treats Owl

Isn't he cute? Couldn't make my mind up between chocolate M&Ms in his tum, or sunflower seeds. So I decided to take photo's of both, then eat the M&Ms!!

I prefer the sunflower seeds as they compliment the colours better - and I really like M&Ms!
I used the new Sweet Treat cups from the Mini catalogue (contact me if you would like a copy) and the 1 3/4" circle punch for his tum.
The Owl is made from various Stampin' Up! punches, including, the Round Tab punch for the head, Boho Blossoms punch for the beak and feet, Scallop circle punch for the wings, 3/4" circle, 1/2" circle and 1/4" circle for the eyes.
The background is the versatile, large swirl stamp from Baroque motifs and I added a few Old Olive leaves.
