Time Fly's


Well we are at the month with clocks my idea was that time flys so fast so here is a history to this with the wee folk
I used to make this
Clarity theother card
Gelli plate
Notelets/ kitchen roll
Distress ink / tea dye/Iced Spruce/Black
Adirondack/ slate/Archival Brilliance iced blue
masking tape
Promarkers
Clarity stamps /wee people/phob watches
Allium/Number kit/Letters
Clarity clock stencil


Masking tape to place stencil so it does not move. then  with a sponge apply the slate ink  go over with the iced blue gives it a metallic look but cant really see this on photo which is a shame
  I put my words on first But was not happy with then so I put  this picture in on purpose to show you   I stamped them again on to a piece of card then cut out stuck on you don't always have to scrap when not happy
 added wee people first then clocks numbers with notelets when can mask the ones that need doing Then with gelli plate I put small amount of iced spruce with brayer then dabbed with kitchen roll pulled my print then did the same with the tea dye was quite proud of the colour effect it gave
 I replaced the stencil because did not think it was dark enough around the edges of clock with slate
 Coloured the bits that were needed with promarkers edged the card with black promarker with the thin tip and around the edge of the stencil Hope you enjoyed this I did

  1. Julie - you have designed a wonderful card; your 'how to' explanation takes us right there - I'm not sure I'd have been brave enough to add the gelli layer, though! Your shading and colouring is a perfect foil for the sentiment. Great! ;~}

  6. great design Julie, the gelli print just finishes if off I particularly love the depth of shading you have got in the clockwork stencil - and I can see bits of shading under the wee folk. Lots of work and masking but a fantastic result x
