Time for something new

 

 

Hello everyone  this is my second project of the month for the Clarity challenge ANYTHING GOES I know we are not on Autumn but I love the colours and the leaves my idea was to show a number of techniques the finished  looked reminded me of a  cushion so added stitching around the out side well less talking for me lets get on

 

I used

Clarity Gelli card

Distress ink pads Aged Mahogany / wild honey /Ripe persimmon/crushed olive /rusty hinge /forest moss/ bundled sage

Adirondack pitch black

Claritys stencil brush/make up sponge /masking tape /black promarker with fine point

Clarity club stamp time for something new small leaf stamp /Clarity leaf stencil /Notelets

Grunge paste  

Lets get started

 

Stamp sentiment in middle of card in black then without inking up again straight on to the notelet rip around the edges of mask as wanted a mask that was not square. Now move  on with maple leaf stamp using all the different inks that have put above

do remember to clean stamp in between stamping don't want to contaminate pads

once you have finished stamp place stencil using masking tape  and use you grunge paste do this in both corners and wait till completely dry

recover each leaf with the stencil using make up sponge use crushed olive cover all of leafs

the with black in stamp the little leaf then go in with the rust ink pad and stamp  to cover in the rest of the gaps then with make up sponge bring in the ink that is on the stencil around edges then on the  next I used mahogany and black did the same

remove all go around the out side with the honey ink pad and the stencil brush till you have desired effect then with out loading brush again take the whiteness of the middle
take masking tape off and draw stitching around the out side of card and do squiggles in the center

Do hope you have enjoyed this thank you for visiting my blog do come back again soon

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
