Clarity card

Good morning, Another blog so soon? Well, I have lots of cards at the moment. Clarity have been busy with lots of lovely new stamps and papers recently and there is more to come.... Maria is on TV on Tuesday 29th at 10.00 and 14.00 I made this using the same background technique with ink on acetate to make my rainbow. Stamp the Flying Boy with black archival and stamp the sentiment from the Fairy set Edge with a black marker and mount on to the base. Add some matching colour gems. Very quick…

Good morning. A bright and early post today, I wanted to show you the card I have done for my second challenge over at the Less is More blog It is good for me to have a bit of a theme to work to, it seems to trigger a different part of my brain, rather than having to think what to do from nothing.

Sorry, I don't do photos, but I…

I was so pleased that my Wee Folk cards were shown as a set and I thought it only right that I blog them that way too. Unfortunately…

I used the Permanent Red and Diaryide Yellow Pans blended together for the background, so that gave me Orange as well. I used a texture stamp and Versafine Onyx Black ink all around the edge of…
