Clarity Stamp Challenge results till late in the day. I was absolutely stunned to see my name there as the winner of the April challenge. This is the first time I have ever entered any sort of challenge or competition with one of my cards and I couldn't believe my luck when my number came out of the hat. I have collected quite a few Clarity stamps and thought I could make a stab at entering something for the In the Garden challenge. I stamped onto Clarity coated card using the blooming corner set for the border which I stamped using the foliage big and juicy stamp pad but blotting it first so it wasn't too bright. I stamped the window which I then masked and filled in the garden scene. I then added the verse and then masked the whole of the centre and brayered over the border with the same foliage big and juicy ink pad to make a fairly deep colour and then very feintly coloured the centre area. I then matted onto gold card and sent it off never imagining I would win the first prize, it was enough just to see something I had made in print.
