Kingfisher

This is a card I made (at the third attempt) using all Clarity Stamps and stencils.  It's a one layer card, I used a cobolt blue pro marker round the edge to create the illusion of a mat.

I stamped the Kingfisher into the centre of the card and the 3 boxes and letters from the letterbox kit and coloured the bird with Spectrum Noir pencils.  Then using the Clarity circular aperture stencil I brushed momento Teal ink into the center after masking off the kingfisher and words.  After removing the stencil I made a wreath around the outside of the circle using the small leafy swirl stamp and some Meadow Adirondack ink.

Thanks for looking.

I am entering this card into the following blog challenges:
Clarity Stamp Challenge - Boys, Boys, Boys
Kraftyhands Blog Challenge - for the Dads
Crafty Boots Challenge -Fathers Day
Crafty Cardmakers Challenge Blog - for a man or boy
