Hello everyone! I don't know about you, but I love the smell of fresh baked
bread! That warm yummy smell just hits the spot! So today I'll be using
products from
I tried something a little different with this card. I stenciled over an embossed
background! It wasn't perfect but I like it! Let me show you how I made it!
I first cut a panel of White Wash card stock to 4" x 5 1/4"and embossed it with an
embossing folder from my stash. Then I put it on my Stick and Stamp Mat
and used the Circles Stencil and Gold Chroma Glaze. I didn't want full
coverage so I didn't put it all over my panel. But what did happen was the
panel had raised edges from the embossing and in places it left almost a
double circle look. I really liked the look it gave.
from the Baked Fresh Stamp Set with some soft brown Copic-friendly ink.
I stamped my sentiment in dark brown pigment ink away from the other
elements so I could die cut it.
For the coloring of my elements I Google Imaged "Artisan Bread". This
gave me the imagery that I needed for color. I used various browns and tans and a
bit of desaturated yellow for the breads.
I also tried to give the bread some visual texture, so my coloring
was not straightforward. I did some dotting and left areas without much
color. I was fairly happy with how they looked. I fussy cut these out and
die cut the sentiment with an oval die.
My stenciled panel was dry. I made a card base using the same White Wash
card stock. It's an A2 size top folding base. I put foam behind my stenciled
panel and before laying it down I added some gold thread and wrapped it around
the lower part of the card.
You can see the thread is not straight. I added this for a slight
grounding of the elements, but not representative of a surface like
a table top. I adhered 2 of the breads flat to the surface but popped up
the one in the front on foam tape as well as the sentiment. I added
some light chocolate pearls that really reflect the gold stenciling and thread .
As a last bit of detail, I added just a few white hi-lites with a white
Posca Pen and then with a fine black marker added black dots that
resemble poppy seeds. And my card was done!
I really like how this card came out. I love the gold Chroma Glaze with
the colors of the breads and I think they enhance each other. The Baked
Fresh Stamp & Die Set are part of October's Inspiration Box. You can
