Hi Can't believe where the months go, time again for the monthly Clarity challenge.I tried a few designs before I was happy, I like the black and white of this one very masculine I thought.

Method

I took a piece of Gelli card from Clarity and inked up the blending mat with black soot distress ink, spritzed with water and then put the card onto this picking up the ink.

Allowed this to dry and stamped the LIVE, LAUGH, LOVE into the corner with black archival and  embossed  with detail clear embossing powder.

I the wrapped twine around this and mounted it onto black card, mounted again onto an 8x8 card blank. 

Agin using a small piece of gelli card I stencilled the Clarity fish design using black soot distress ink. 

This was then mounted onto black card and the onto apiece of Zentangled card I had previously been working on. I like the two together.

Finally adding this to the card with sticky pads.

Hope you like it?

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.
