Today is the 18th of August so time for a reminder about the current challenge over at we love Chocolate Baroque where the theme is:
** Favourite Stamps **
As I am still quite new to Chocolate Baroque I don't yet have any stand out favourites but this stamp called baroque meadow is definitely going to end up in that category as I have used it several times already.
This is actually a one layer card, I started by masking a strip on the side and bottom of the card then I inked with DI until I was happy (the sun was done with a piece of post it note). Once I was happy I took away the masking tape from the left side and stamped the image with Versafine Clair twilight ink.
When I removed the masking tape from the bottom the edge was a little ragged so I fixed it with a black marker pen and a ruler.
This was really very simple to do and I am pleased with it. I hope you like it too.
I do hope I have inspired you to take part in our challenge this month.
I am looking forward to seeing you in the gallery.

It's an inspired design using Baroque Meadow Hilary, I also like this stamp as it's a silhouette and makes it really versatile. Again so nice seeing the envie and insert stamped, I do envies sometimes must must borrow your idea and take it further.

This is a great CAS card. Love how you masked it off and the distress ink colors you chose. [Bunny]
What pretty colours on your beautiful blended background and I really like how you've masked the area and then added the fabulous silhouette stamping to go over the edge. A real beauty Hilary x.

Looks nice. I like the background, you really nailed it.
I LOVE your one layer beauty, Hilary! The colours of your sponged sky are so beautiful. And this is one gorgeous image, I can see why it's already becoming one of your favourites! Beautiful card, my friend! xx
Stunning card, with a fab One Layer design! I always love silhouettes and the colour is so gorgeous!
I love it! There is something beautiful about the ink blended black silhouette cards that always stand out for me. Your colours are fabulous!
This is so lovely - and I agree I've only got a few Chocolate Baroque stamps but they are lovely to work with. Great tip for the ragged edge - I must remember that one - thanks for joining us at HSS this week.
Beautiful and I love your color blending. Great way to showcase the background by using silhouette images. Thanks for playing with us at HSS.

This is absolutely beautiful, Hilary! You're very good with the Chocolate Baroque stamps and are encouraging me to look at them again. They do appeal to me immensely. Such lovely shading on this. Truly exquisite.
