Dandelion Clock

Hi I have been pondering for a while over the new Clarity challenge for May. As I don't have any stamps even vaguely related to a clock. So I decided to do my take on this and do a dandelion clock.

Items Used
Gelli plate, gelli card, acrylic paints, dandelion lady stamp, Clarity stencil, Cosmic shimmer texture paste frosty dawn, adirondack ink pad butterscotch, distress ink pads crushed olive & forest moss, the clarity letter box stamp set, 8x8 card blank, gold card and green card.
Method
I made a print using acrylic paints in green and buff titanium
I then stamped two dandelion images one onto the print using butterscotch, forest moss and crushed olive ink, and the other onto a small piece of spare gelli card using the same colours..
I cut the second one out carefully
I then stencilled the leaves with the cosmic shimmer paste onto the print.at the top and the bottom making sure I had room for the words.
Next I stamped the words using forest moss ink pad
finally i attached the second dandelion over the first with sticky pads to give dimension.
All that was needed then was to mat and layer to finish.

This is my card for the Happy little stampers Christmas card Challenge.
I used a geli plate with inks and clarity stencils for the background and a clarity stamp for the stamped image. I coloured it using spectrum noir pencils.

Paper moon

Hi
I thought I would enter this card in the cuttlebug mania challenge, stamping. I have used the Kimono collection and chose the paper moon.



I used a clarity stencil for the background card with butterscotch and sailboat blue Adirondack ink pads. Brush the colour through the stencil with clarity brushes. I then embossed this using the Oriental biirdcage again from the Kimono collection. I stamped the image using black archival ink onto stamping card. Coloured the image with Spectrum Noir pencils. I then cut this out with a die along with the circle. I stamped the butterflies from the Kimono set coloured and cut them out. I also stamped the sentiment and butterflies onto the circle. I put a piece of spiders web behind the topper and mounted it all together before matting and layering onto coordinating card stock. I attached the cut out butterflies and added blue gems. Hope you like it.
