My first card of the year is a 90th birthday card for my Mother in Law. Its a shaped card using the lovely floral bouquet stamps from Clarity Stamp and also my entry into the January Clarity Blog Challenge Say it with flowers.
Ive used some light blue card for the base, the outside panels are made by stamping the flower heads onto Clarity card with Versamark and then shading with some blue and pink inks to get the watermark effect. I've decoupaged 3 of the flowerheads coloured with pencils onto each side panel and some die cut swirls and finished off using the Clarity letterbox kit.
On the inside I stamped the full bouquet coloured with pencils onto some white card and although its not easy to see from the photo the bouquet is framed by a Clarity oval stencil shaded with pink around the outside.
Love your card so wonderful the shape design colour good luck in the clarity challenge xx
