Beautifully Baroque Bundle

Let me introduce you to one of my must have’s out of the new catalog this year – the Beautifully Baroque bundle.  Two products are bundled for a 15% discount – this stamp, Beautifully Baroque and the Baroque Motif Textured Impressions Embossing Folder.  And this card is the perfect combination of the two.  I hope you love it!

Creative Tips –

• Baroque reminds me of palaces in Europe and regal things.  So I naturally gravitate toward the color of royalty – purple.  I chose the Elegant Eggplant color to bring that royal quality to my project today.
• This stamp only comes in the wood mount option.  I stamped my image using the Stampin’ Mat so that I would get a good solid image.  The stamp itself if rather large, and I didn’t want to miss the middle.  The Mat helps give me a nice firm cushioned base so that I can stamp larger images and get even pressure everywhere, not just the edges, it’s a miracle worker!
• To accentuate it, I cut out my image and put Stampin’ Dimensionals on it.
• To add some glitz to my image, I used a 2 way glue pen and let it dry for a few seconds before adding some Dazzling Diamonds to it.  I didn’t want to over do it, so I just added a little on the longer lines. 
• For the background, I ran a 3 3/4” x 5” piece of Whisper White through my Big Shot using the Baroque Motif TIEF folder and matted it onto my Elegant Eggplant base.
• I made a banner using my 1” Square Punch.  The greeting is from the new set – Four You which has four great greetings for every occasion! Click Here for a video on how to make perfect banners.
• To give the card a little drama, I popped up my banner with Stampin’ Dimensionals and then figured out the spacing for my main image and my banner.  Don’t just adhere it first – use both to get the proper spacing.
• Once adhered, I added some Rhinestone Basic Jewels.  The ironic thing is if I look at them, I see the Eiffel Tower!

This is a fun project that’s pretty quick and quite simple.  The glitz of the Dazzling Diamonds and Rhinestones really sets this project apart from a just stamped one!
