Poppies in the Landscape

A card made with some of the lovely Hobbyart stamps.  I'm not too good at Landscapes but their stamps make it easy to set out a scene.  This one is coloured with Promarkers and Wink of Stella red and green on the poppies around the border, some of which are decoupaged.

Circles and Squares

Hi, here is a card made using Clarity stamps and stencils.  The background colours are slightly darker than the photo shows and has been created using Distress inks, Mustard Seed and Peacock Feathers and some Lettuce Adirondack then I've applied Brilliance Moonlight White ink through the bubble stencil.   I stamped the ducks and tree with Black Archival ink onto a square of card and edged with a black promarker.

Love Sewing

A hanging MDF plaque made with some papers I had with a quilting pattern for the background.  The sewing machine cotton reels and scissors have been stamped and cut out and I added some glossy accents to the machine and scissors and attached them with Pinflair glue for dimension.  The wording is stamped onto different colour squares and cut out then glued together with more Pinflair glue, I've added Stickles gold sparkle around the edge of the letter squares although its not too visible in the picture.  Finally I stamped some faux stitching and pearls around the edge and made a flower from buttons.

The central image is stamped onto a white oval shape and coloured with Memento Rhubarb Stalk and Morocco inks using a paint brush.

In my Garden

I made this card today after thinking hard for ages, and trying out several ideas, about what to do for this month's Clarity Stamp challenge. 

I've used all Clarity stamps, some really old and some not so old, and a stencil I bought on Saturday at the Clarity open day in Leyburn.  Colours are Adirondack Mountain Rose, Squeezed Lemonade Distress ink and Picked Raspberry Distress ink, It looks more sunny in real life than in the photo. 

Birds, trees, flowers, dragon flies, caterpillars, squirrels and a lot more besides are what I find in my garden. 

Thanks for looking your comments will be very much appreciated.

New Home

Evening, thanks for taking a look at my latest blog post which is a card I made recently using Clarity stamps and stencils.

I created the background by brushing some pink, blue and yellow Distress inks across a the Clarity squares stencil directly onto a 6 x 6 white card blank. For the central image I stamped and coloured some of the wee houses onto a square piece of white card, hen masking off the houses to stamp the trees, bits of grass and fencing the matted onto a dark blue background.  The banner is also from Clarity.

Your comments will be greatly received thanks.

Another inky background made with water and clingfilm and sailboat blue and lettuce Aderondack inks this time.  The stamp is a Clarity club stamp and the foliage is from the Clarity set with the cats which I purchased recently.
