Birthday Wishes

Hello everyone Wow cant believe we are in November time for another Clarity challenge this month its BLAST FROM THE PAST choose one of the past challenges I chose anything goes and decided to do a groovi for this project so I will list the materials first

Clarity A4 parchment
Clarity groovi system
both trumpet lilies plates /straight pricking plate
squares and circles plates / Clarity groovi  club plate
Faber castell polychrome colouring pencils
Artistry inks mellow green /distress inks mustard seed
Gems / pinflair glue gel /Clarity stencil brushes
Tumble dryer sheet

Lets get started

Rub over parchment with tumble dryer sheet In the four corners I added trumpets using the smallest tools

now filled the gaps with the long trumpets

put your squares in so that the trumpets dangle over the squares

from the main groovi system I added my Birthday wishes

with the circles I enter the one that fit tight into the square then added the next circle down same as I did for the squares now add the club plate gently going around the sentiment

Now with the square pricking plate do this from the front of your work but using number 2 tool instead of a pricking tool add your dots in all four corners

with the soft side of your board use number four tool add your white work remember don't press to hard soft is best and let it rest in-between before coming back doing it again so will come up whiter

then with the colour pencils colour in on the reverse side still

 

With mustard ink and brush stroke the parchment on the reverse 

 then with the meadow green do the out sides of the square well I hope  you enjoyed this work and gives you some ideas hope to see you back again soon

For all you do

Hello every one This month is A BLAST FROM THE PAST and my choice was anything goes this is what I came up with for this so shall we begin

Clarity 7x 7 Gelli card
Masking tape/ make up sponges
Clarity stencil brushes
Adirondack ink pads pitch black / Peach Bellini /Willow
Artistry ink collection Lime kiss /Lime kiss / Avocado
Distress ink pad Pine needles
Notelets /Kitchen roll
Clarity Thank you collection stamps
Clarity Circle stencil / Ginkgo stencil
Promarkers burnt orange /pine / black plus fine point nib
Green card

Shall we begin

Start with the circle stencil put in place on the card and stamp thank you so you get this exactly where you would like this

With the peach ink pad and stencil brush I added ink to the out circle but not the middle wanted more of a shadow using make up sponge bring the ink of the stencil into the circle to sharpen this with stencil off add rest of sentiment

Now with my ginkgo stencil I place in corner I used post it notes to cover areas did not want to contaminate with  ink with stencil brush I used lime kiss then with avocado used more on the edges bring colour in with sponge then hit the edges  and stalk with pine needles again using sponge now repeat on the opposite side top corner  now with the two remaining corners wanted more of a shadow so just used what was left on the brushes and on the sponges

 I know I use this technic a lot but I do like it I started with the peach ink pad screw up my paper towel and dip straight into ink pad if bit worried try dabbing on to scrap paper first at least this way you can see how bright  it with come up first dab around the outer sides till you are satisfied

Now move your kitchen roll around so you have clean part do the same with the willow till you are happy

Take masking tape off I did slanted black line with fine point all through the thank you then alternate green and orange colour for the out side of the card wanted to doodle but did not want just squiggle line but thought be easy to over do this so I chose dots two fine dots and one bigger all around the edge now I mounted this on to green card I do hope you enjoyed this thank you for visiting my blog hope you will return again soon x
