Anniversary

Hello everyone this month Clarity challenge is anything goes so for this part of the challenge I would do a parchment hope you like what I have done I will show you how I produced this piece

Clarity parchment A4
Clarity groovi start system
Groovi club Daisies plate/ occasions boarder  plate /square plate
Lace boarder 2 plate /Clarity straight piercing plate
Clarity club groovi system
Faber castell poloychromo colour pencils /brads

Lets get started

With the square place in the groovi system I used a tumble drier sheet so my tools would glide well I did the largest square first then without moving anything then did the third square in

with the club small groovi system I used the daises plate from Clarity club

I lined up my squares buy moving parchment so I have two equal squares in both corners with boarders around them

Still using mu square plate I made squares in the corners with the lace boarder plate used the heart only in the corners then you will notice further down I put two in the middle of the square all around with the tear drop from boarder added love And the Anniversary

 

 

With my piercing plate on the right side of your work ad pricking I did 4 wholes square and 4 space squares and so on

with soft part of my mat on the reverse side of work  added white shading between the pricking plus around the little square boarders then used my smallest tool to do strippling carful not to pierce the work you get nice dotted effect Sorry missed photo out here I put back in my square plate joined up the squares with boarder around to make one large square and still using this plate used smallest square to put another two squares in each corner in the middle of the tiny square I used off the main board what looks like a star
put the daisy heads in the boarders. Then went back in with soft board to put the rest of the white work on the tiny squares I used my smallest tool did this with a scratching effect just in the corners  turn board over to hard side to do colouring in don't forget to let your work rest doing to much white work in one go will make it buckle I learnt the hard way

With your scissor with a twisting motion cut your crosses best to practice on old piece of parchment first

Hope you enjoyed this please come back to my blog again Thank you

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

Happy Birthday

Hello everyone this is my choice for mid challenge ALL ABOUT THE GIRLS
I'm am new to the parchment craft so I thought give another go but adding stamp to this project to give a bit of difference so lets begin

Clarity stamp Madeline
Clarity Groovi mini system
Clarity parchment/Clarity groovi system
Butterfly wreath plate
octagon plate /square plate
High Tack tape/ Faber Castell polychrome colour pencils
Versa magic Cloud white chalk ink
Tumble dryer sheet
Pergamno scissors

Lets begin  Stamped my image in white ink pad and left to dry naturally for about half an hour turn parchment over and work on the reverse side rubbing your tumble drier sheet over first so your tools can glide easily

 

Decide on  your parchment exactly where you want you octagon to start so carry on till you are on the straight of the  shape making sure you do the boarder line same time   do the same the other end then join it up with the straight line from the square plate

Then with the square plate measure it up and do the corners with boarders

The mini groovi system put Happy birthday in

the butterfly plate add parts of the wreath I added couple of the leaves hear and their till you are happy with what you have done

On the reverse still use your  bigger tools  and soft side of mat I did the white work remember don't press  to hard I learnt the hard way light feathery strokes till desired look don't forget  let your work rest in between to stop it buckling

This is my straight grid I'm waiting for my clarity one to come with tape placed on the grid doing every hole on the center piece make sure you do this bit from the front of your work

Now the corners pierce four holes in a square then leave four holes square free its quiet easy when you get into it just don't lose concentration or like me you will put holes in wrong place

then turning over your work add circles in with the bigger ball tool in the squares that you left plain

 

this I have got into doing love this on the reverse again with the smallest tool and soft side of the mat very gently stipple the corners but don't press to hard or your tool will pierce  couple times is ok but don't want it happening to often now you can colour on the reverse to do your corners place your scissors up right with the tips in the hole bring them down gently then twist and snip doing this on all corner you will get your crosses  I hope you enjoyed this I like doing this very calming thank you for joining  me
