Love

Hello everyone  a card for the Clarity challenge love I am new to the parchment craft its all trial and error to start I have got to apologise I got engrossed in this piece that I forgot to take picture so let me explain how I did this
Clarity Groovi starter kit /butterfly wreath plate / Square nested plate
Tumble dryer sheet / spectrum noir pencils
pinflair glue gel/ gems /Teal card

 

Lets get started

first I placed my wreath plate into main plate using removable  tape, placed my parchment over the wreath wiped over with tumble dry sheet to make it easy for embossing pen to move I used the smallest end to allow for crisp lines at this stage I only did the wreath, using the letter squares worked out exactly where I would put the love as I did not want to lose to much of the butterfly. On my test pieces so far have made the mistakes of putting my letters at the wrong end remembering you are working on reverse so I now tend to pick up the edge to see if I am putting in right place so easy to do it wrong

I do all of the drawing out on this piece with the fine tool now place parchment back over plate and draw in the rest at this stage I added square plate to draw square around the piece

with all the plates taken away using the soft side of the blue board start with the bigger tools adding where you want embossing in white don't press to hard or you will get holes if it is still not white enough give these parts arrest  now turn your board over for the harder side to use your colour pencils if not the soft side the pencils will go through.  Colour what you wish to colour then you can go back in and whiten a bit more with perhaps a smaller embossing tool but be extra careful not to press to hard and remember to put board back to the soft side for the whitening   I must admit I did cheat a bit on this one I cut around the square but close to the line

now with your folded teal card I placed only small spot of glue gel where I would put my gem so no glue would show now add your gems again not to much glue that it shows as I say I am just learning parchment as well as they say practise makes perfect hope you enjoyed this I did thank you for visiting my blog hope to see you again soon xx

Forever

Hello everyone This months challenge is Love their are so many interpretations for this challenge but this is mine hope you enjoy
Clarity Gelli card /Clarity heart stencil
Clarity chain words /and wee people /blossom branch /small tree /Clarity hill mask
earth tones colour burst / promarkers
Distress ink pads cloudy sky/ bundled sage
Adirondack /pitch black
clarity stencil brushes /make up sponge
water spray bottle

Lets begin

 I used the blue and the red in the sky area tried to puff the colour burst out bottle rather than dollops
but I did this onto dry card putting green to try make hills  then from great height sprayed fine water did not want it to puddle if felt it was going to do this used kitchen roll on these parts could all ways go back in if felt needed more

 then wait till completely dry I did not use dryer I left till next day only because only wanted to do this bit that day but when was dry put between booked with something heavy on top to flatten out

 now with masking tape place your heart stencil I did my hills first then the sky using my hill mask

did them darker at bottom then lighter towards the top for perspective using my sponge then cloudy sky ink pad used the brush to do sky first then finished with sponge to bring the colour off the stencil

 

 Add your couple with black ink and your branch remember to press well where the stencil is to get your stamped image in well where stencil is

Remove the stencil carefully colour your blossoms with promarkers then with black promarker fine go around the heart with a decal type edge then do a squiggle line through this then do the same on the boarders of the card I enjoyed doing this hope you like it as well thank you for joining me on my blog xx
