Chalk Clouds and the lovely Woodware Travel Background

Hi Bloggers.

I have a demo card from my last set of Hochanda shows for you today. I have already blogged this in a different colourway (here) but this is so pretty, I thought it derserved it's day on the blog -

I've used one of my mopped up waste ink backgrounds - Chalk Clouds in Enchanted Blossom, Sweet Violet, Gentle Lavender and Terracotta.

I stamped the Woodware Travel Background on top using Onyx Black Versafine Ink. I trimmed my piece and edged with Terracotta Chalk Cloud using a Smoothie.

I wrapped a piece of Sheer Iridescent Ribbon around the bottom section and them matted onto Black Card and popped onto a Coconut White Card blank.

I added CS White Gesso to an Arty Heart Pop-em. Once dry, I added Terracotta Chalk Cloud and then pounced through a section of the Celtic Vine Mask with Gentle Lavender Chalk Cloud. I edged the Pop-em with Enchanted Blossom Chalk Cloud.

I made a couple of flowers out of more of my mopped up waste ink background using Sue Wilson's Sweet Williams Die Set.

I completed my card by adding a 5mm Black Pearl to the centre of the flowers.
