Spring time

Hello everyone welcome to my blog this is the second part of Clarity challenge for April Masking my idea for this one was to show you how could do a ring of roses it is quiet simple may look difficult but is not I put another mask in the middle to give you a guide to give a circle let me apologise for a couple of my photos bit blurred

What I used
Distress ink pads walnut/ Wild honey / Evergreen bough
Clarity theuver card / Clarity stencil brushes
Notelets / Promarkers
Clarity small rose stamp / Clarity Club stamp / Clarity woodland animals
Faber castell polychrome colour pencils
Clarity circle stencil / Clarity masking sheets
Clarity small square letter set stamps
Kitchen roll

Lets begin

First I used the mask sheet with the circle stencil I drew from the circle on to the mask cut out put in the middle of my card as my guide. Stamp with walnut ink four roses into a cross. stamp onto notelets and cut through a load at a time or you might be their all day if you do one at a time  

 Mask these roses.  then stamp again in the middle of each gap mask build this up till you have it all completely covered

Stamp Your spring and time using little letters in walnut

With Evergreen and stencil brush build up your colour around the outside of card did not want this to dark so next went on to kitchen roll screwed this up dipped it into ink pad if not sure if to dark or your ink pad is new can always use a piece of scrap paper then in circle movements got my desired effect you can build this up to what you would like,  just gave a touch up with the brush again

with wild honey I used the brush in the middle then did the same with the kitchen roll but not to much to the middle use more as a shadeing

So now I have taken of masks using my polychrome pencils coloured in roses and spring

With promarker went around the edges of roses to make them pop

did the same with the letters and middle of the circle. With black promarker I did decorative squiggle

in the corners coloured  in promarkers still felt something was missing so added a rabbit well it is spring with a pencil I put bit of shading just underneath so he's not floating

Then with the chisel end of my promarker I went all the way around edge of card keeping the pen flat if you have not ever done this before it is easy try on piece of scrap paper first
Thank you for joining me hope you enjoyed this hope to see you again soon

Be the Change

Hello everyone we are on a different challenge this month its all about masking this can be done in so many different ways this is my take on masking hope you enjoy.

Clarity stencils Shaped circle/ Leaf with leaf stamps /Clarity Club stencil
 Clarity sentiment stamp
Clarity masking sheet / masking tape
Stencil brushes / make up sponge / Clarity Gelli card
Gelli plate
Distress inks Peeled paint / spiced marmalade / Mustard seed / bundled sage
Adirondack pitch black /promarkers
Kitchen roll / brayer


Lets get started

 

Using the masking sheet I draw around the hole in the middle on to the masking sheet cut out and placed this in the middle of my card

 This I'm sorry I did have two picture of this as I did this twice  but some how the other picture has disappeared with my gelli plate I added ink mustard seed peeled paint and spiced marmalade randomly over gelli plate then with kitchen roll rolled up dab all over then pull you print from this I repeated it a second time as I wanted more colour got lot better effect doing this twice

 Apply spiced marmalade with brayer to plate put your next stencil down apply copie paper rub of excess take stencil off pull your print

 Now mask up your card again with circle mask then the edges of the card where white with masking tape does not matter if your print has a couple of edges missing as the this often improves with next step

 I used peeled paint first with stencil brush around the out sides then the circle mask using make up sponge use the ink from the mask the make the shadow darker I darkened the corners with sponge to get a sharper corner

 stamp in black your leaf stamp

 apply your leaf stencil with masking tape using bundled sage and stencil brush add colour leaving the middle slightly lighter then take off excess  from stencil with make up sponge to make it darker around edges

 Colour in with promarkers I placed the middle of my leaf stencil over the leaf with make up sponge and peel paint I added a shadow around the leaf

 Add sentiment Then with burnt orange promarker went around the edge of card with the chisel edge of the pen keep it flat Thank you for visiting my blog hope you enjoyed this.  hope to see you again soon
