Ophelia at Chocolate Baroque

Hello to you all, I am sharing sample made from the new stamps that have just been released
 at Chocolate Baroque.

I have made this using Stampbord....I started by inking the stampbord with distress ink then using Black Archival ink, stamped the image "Ophelia"over the top. When dry I then got a Scratch Knife and started to scratchaway where I thought the highlights should be.

I really enjoyed doing this it was my first time but have done many more since.xxx

Thank You

I just wanted to say I am not doing as much crafting at the moment due to lack of space, so apart from DT stuff you might not see much of me ...My craftroom is having a makeover and some new cabinets and is just a big mess at the moment. Hopefully everything will be back to normal in a couple of weeks.

I did manage this though ...I inked the backgroud with Denim Adirondak ink and then stamped my images with some black Archival.xxx

Items Used

Adirondak Ink-Denim

Inkylicious Stamps-Simply Trees

Hero Arts-Thank you stamp
