Clarity Stamps Challenge 24 - Floral



Hi lovely day here in Yorkshire at the minute.
This is my entry for February's Clarity challenge.
I made the brick wall using the stencil and grunge paste. Inked over when dry with a combination of inks until I got what I thought was a good brick colour.
I made the tulips using the remountable filigraphy petals and some masking using red and yellow distress inks. I added some shadow with promarkers then clear embossed them; just because I love embossing!
I drew the tulip leaves on  green paper, cut out then used promarkers to add some detail.
Mounted the wall on some pretty paper I had for a background then added the tulips on top. I only stuck the base of the tulip down so the tops would curl over a bit and look more 3d.
Added celebrate from the word chain set.
It's quite a tactile card - hope you like it - thanks for looking.

    You've created a very realistic looking brick wall Sarah, and it must feel great with the grunge paste too. The filigraphy petals make fabulous tulips. Thanks for entering the Clarity challenge, and good luck. Xxx
