Clarity stencil card
Adirondak pitch black / distress ink pad antique linen
Clarity stencil brush /make up sponge /pinflair glue gel
Clarity heart stencil / masking tape
Promarkers

Attach stencil to stencil card using masking tape Using black ink pad stamp the rose give good push down in the areas where the stencil is so imprints well mine was bit missed out but I drew it in with fine point promarker

I also stamped on to spare card for my decoupage

I only wanted faint colour to fill around the edges of heart so with my brush and linen pad  add till happy then with make up sponge bring in the colour from stencil

Now I stamped  cherish in. Using promarkers I coloured in the rose and flowers

BOOK MARK

Hello Everyone we are in January already how time fly's this month Clarity challenge is ANIMAL KINGDOM I thought I would have a go at groovi book mark hope you like this will put in the details what used in this project below

Clarity powder blue parchment
Clarity groovi humming birds plate / straight pricking plate
Clarity started groovi kit /Alphabet picture frame plate
Squares plate
Tumble drier sheet / parchment scissors / parchment tools /Pricking tool
Faber castell poloychromo colour pencils /groovi sticky tags
Fine strong double sided tape /teal card
Clarity Light box with white pricking mat


Lets get started

Use the tumble drier sheet on the side of the parchment that you are working so your tools will glide make it easier to do. can I just say before we start that you do your line art white work colouring on reverse of parchment any pricking and cutting out is on the front side of parchment

So I have started here with my picture frame plate attach your parchment with Sticky tag you will have to do one side of the  plate the three lines then you work out how big you would like this to been move the parchment around to meet how big you want this

Now with the letter and boxes for the name use the Clarity starter kit

Put your humming birds  in the place you want add some of the trumpet flowers now when you are satisfied with this I put square plate in put the point of the inner boarder of the corner parchment use the line you have room to add your triangle do the same all four corners  

Gradually do your white work on the soft side of your board very gentle strokes with resting in between  have cup tea come back or your work will buckle don't press to hard or try to do to much this point I did the colouring in with faber castell pencils let it rest again I went in again with white work

With pricking plate in placed the parchment to that I could prick the inner triangle. With parchment scissors prick four corners out

Now with pricking plate I went around the out side of book mark with pricking tool   

Now snip out the edge of book mark and allow your parchment to rest before doing any more left mine over night

Sorry this picture was taken before let rest over night before mounting on to teal base card using the double sided tape on the  coloured areas in small pieces only hope you enjoyed this piece work thank you for visiting my blog x

Hello every one cant believe we are in 2017 already this months Clarity challenge is ANIMAL KINGDOM  this is my piece for this challenge I will list the items I used below

Gallery watercolour card
Clarity stencil card
black card to mount
Clarity circle stencil
Clarity Owl stamps and mask / material field mask / cloud mask
Clarity sentiment stamp / clarity wee stamps
Ken Oliver colour bursts earth tones
Adirondack pitch black ink pad / denim / egg plant
Distress ink pad peeled paint / Artistry Avocado ink pad
Clarity stencil brushes / promarkers
Pinfair glue gel /  masking tape
Spellbinders die /calibur die machine
Old plate /fine brush / larger brush /kitchen roll
Versafine vintage sepia ink pad

So lets get started

Using water colour card put your die through machine

Was going to make a mask to go around the pattern but found circle stencil fitted just right put a piece of masking tape under card to attach to stencil Now stamp your owls with sepia ink pad

Put mask on owls but lifted the stencil first so that the mask is under stencil

don't make card to wet but with a bigger brush and the blue powder mix on  your pallet did not want colour completely even so dabbed it on then dabbed of parts with kitchen roll so I had a patchy look  then decided to take off the stencil  make blue slightly darker to go around the out side of the owls again if to much dab with paper towel

allow the blue to dry or colours will mix  with sepia yellow orange powders put on my plate with lot less water painted my owls

I used few of my promakers when this had dried to define areas

Now got my ink pads out went over the sky with denim with stencil brush

with my field mask I put peeled paint in

 

Now with the stencil card masked around the edges I added sky with denim and eggplant till desired effect added my sentiment was not happy with sky so used my cloud mask using egg plant ink and a sponge then thought need to add clouds to the sky of my owls

After doing sky decided needed some more colour around owls and parts of the owls

With field mask add hills with peeled paint and use you wee stamp with avocado ink but in-between each one blot and plot so have a shadow image now with the masking tape off I used a fine tip on my black promarker to finish of the edging I mounted this onto black card then added my owls using pinflair glue gel to give it a raised look hope you enjoyed this thank you for visiting my blog x

Merry Christmas

Hello everyone  we are almost at  Christmas. This year gone so fast This months Clarity challenge is CAROL SINGING & CHRISTMAS JOY Hope you enjoy my blog lets get started with the materials I used

Clarity light box
Clarity powder blue parchment
Clarity groovi system
Clarity groovi  Jayne's frame plate
Clarity small Twas the night 5 cat window plate
Clarity straight pricking plate
Gems /pinflair glue gel /double sided strong thing tape
Promarker / Faber castell polychrome colour pencils
Clarity mistletoe stamp
White card
Clarity club groovi system
Clarity pricking boarder Diagonal no 1  / parchment scissors
Tumble dryer sheet /soft and the hard sided mat
Distress ink pad Chipped sapphire


Lets get started

I used my light box   rub the darker side of the blue parchment this is the side you will work on except when picking you then turn the parchment to  the front

So on the reverse side attach you parchment to the frame plate using the smallest tool draw the frame   

Now with you club groovi system or if you have an adapter for small plates add the twas Christmas plate again with the smallest tool draw around

you now want your boarder pricking plate but still want to use this on the reverse  Using slightly bigger tool as we want to use the pricking boarder to emboss now you have done this turn the parchment over and with pricking mat underneath prick in between the diamonds. Now back to reverse side o0f parchment  on the frame plate you have Merry Christmas put this at the top of your frame and using the line on frame plate put box around this

Now all the rest you do from the front with pricking tool and straight pricking plate start at the edge prick four holes in a square the miss four holes so you leave the same amount gaps between them all. Now back to reverse side and soft mat underneath use the larger tool and to do the white work between each cross don't press to hard softly softly you can go back over later to make it whiter don't forget to let this rest I did a bit to much in one go so tended to curl

Do all your colouring on a hard side of mat. use your blue promarker to go around the gaps in the frame on the reverse side of parchment and colour the rest with your pencils now the cutting out with your parchment scissors do the cutting of the crosses from the front of your work making sure you give your scissors a little twist as you cut

I did my back ground with white card and distress chipped  sapphire blue and mistletoe stamp my ink pad is very low on ink so gave me just the right amount of ink if ink pad is to wet blot then add to card so I filled card all over

I backed the parchment onto pearl blue card with strong thin double sided tape just where the cat is then added small dot of pinflair glue gel to corners then added the gems with pinflair to the corners now attach this to the back ground I did not show all the background as I had trouble taking a photo of all of it as the middle did not show enough hope you enjoyed this thank you for visiting my blog hope to see you  here again soon  xx

Stars

Hello everyone this is my other card for this months Clarity challenge CAROL SINGERS AND JOY
May I apologise  before I start my photos are with the light on middle of the day but was so dark
lets get stated

Clarity's Gelli card
Clarity's bauble and stars stencils
Clarity's Mery Christmas chain word stamps
Grunge paste
Distress ink pads Expresso / Red brick / peacock feathers
aged Mahogany Adirondack willow /Pitch black / slate
Brilliance starlite silver
Clarity stencil brushes / make up sponge
Clarity branch stamp / naked tree
Masking tape /black promaker fine point
Notelets

 

 Mask off the out side of card so you have a boarder. Using masking tape added  bauble stencil to card put notelet just under where the top of bauble is using slate and sponge add your colour

Now put the post it note so it covers what you have already done I stared at the bottom with brick red and brush when you have a good bit of colour then  with a sponge bring in the  colour left on the stencil do the same with top and peacock ink and again with sponge don't be scared to add the colour but do remember once on cant take off so if not confident do little at a time

Now I added my star stencil under bauble stencil apply your grunge paste with your scraper

Take your stencils away leave to dry completely

 Add both stencils back in the same way with a make up sponge add the silver ink

Wait for this ink to dry takes a bit longer than other inks

Now with mask cover half of the top of bauble so the naked tree goes through the hole and out the other side

so you get this effect

Once I put my Merry Christmas in I was not happy still so used the naked branch and added more Now with stencil brush go around the out side with willow till you have desired effect Now take off your masking tape and add with fine point promarker one big dot and two small dots all around the out side. I hope you have enjoyed my blog thank you for visiting hope I will see you here again soon ..
