I had to use my Baroque Motifs stamps one more time. This is the last post with new stamps for a while. I will get to play more once I am back from Germany. But don’t worry. I have a post lined up for every day that I am gone.
I started out with last weeks sketch from the blog: Sketch This.
Since the card sketch didn’t look like a regular size card, I made the card base 4 1/4″ x 10″ and folded it in half. Next I cut a 4″ x 4 3/4″ piece of the gorgeous new designer paper called Brocade Background and frayed the edges with the cutting tool kit from Stampin’ Up!
I stamped the edges of the paper with – you guessed it – the outline Argyle stamp from All in a Row. I can’t help myself. I am totally addicted to this stamp. If I don’t stamp my card with it, it looks nakked somehow. I really like how the frayed paper looks with that stamp. Almost like stitched frayed fabric.
Since I don’t have Purlely Pomegranate Print paper yet, I used the Rose Red paper from the POP pack and sponged it with Purely Pomegranate. Under it is a small layer of a patterned paper from the Brocade Background paper.
The flower is a triple flower. The first layer is the big non flower like image from Baroque Motifs. I stamped it in River Rock on Shimmery white cardstock. Next is the large flower in Purely Pomegranate followed by the small flower in Chocolate chip. The center is a brad from the vintage brad collection. Last I stamped cherish in chocolate chip on the horizontal strip.

You have sold me on this set. I wasn’t sure but your cards are all so elegant looking. Of course that has more to do with you than the stamp set but one can dream. Glad you arrived safely. Have fun!
This is very pretty! I love the distressing and faux stitching.

Gorgeous Beate!! I love the rich colors and that medallion thingy looks so sofisticated 🙂 LOVE your faux stitching!! Do you use craft ink or classic for that??
I’m loving this paper and your card is way gorgeous! This set is so versatile!
I’ve noticed a lot of zig-zag stitching on cards lately, but I’m am so not into sewing. Well low and behold “IT’S A STAMP!!!!!”who knew. Love the creativity and the now off to get All in a Row.
So very pretty! Your focal image looks FAB with the different colors layered together.
