Clarity Challenge 12 - Love and Romance



I have used the stamp that came from the New Designs Club.
I stamped and clear embossed the heart and coloured it in using promarkers.
I drew a larger heart, but same shape, on paper and cut the centre out. Then I covered the heart with a mask, so that I could use the ray part from the arch stencil to put sunburst rays,  in a heart shape, around the stamp.
Finally, I used the cloud mask to put a cloudy sky in the background.

Thank you for looking.

Lavinia Stamps Challenge 2 - Blue or Lilac or Both



I bought a digi stamp for the first time so I thought I would have a go at using that.

This is the Zen Myah image from Lavinia, she suited these two colours well, and I coloured her in using promarkers.
Used Memento Lilac Posies and Adirondack Stonewashed to stamp the flowers and trailing leaves.
Added distress sticklers to some of the bubbles around the outside and put glossy accents over the beads around her.
Used a Sakura jelly roll pen in Stardust gold to add some dotty glitz to the trailing leaves.

Thank you for looking

Clarity Stamps Challenge 9 - Christmas





I made the aperture with the new arch stencil.
The sky was inked using the stencil brush and a hill mask in Denim
with a bit of Lettuce at the bottom to give it a glow!
I then stamped on the church, houses, lamp post, well and geese 
where I wanted them, added denim to create shadows.
Used a torn piece of paper and tumbled glass to 
create the snow covered slopes.
Coloured items in with various promarkers.
Added s small star with gold embossing powder.
I used a fine nib black pen to free draw the stones to make the archway,
then used the holly and ivy stamps to trail around the outside.
Coloured the bricks, wall and ivy with promarkers.
Put glossy accents on the berries and glamour dust on the frosty hills.
Thank you for looking.

I am trying to enter the Lavinia stamps challenge 
for the first time with the above card.
The sun is distress ink Mustard Seed using a Clarity stamps stencil 
with added detail using Adirondack Mountain Rose.
I then stamped Lavinia's Flower Fairy in Memento black.
The bottom of the card is the Lavinia  Bluebells stamp
in first and second generation Mountain Rose ink.  
I then used ink dusters to take the whiteness of the card away with
Mountain Rose.  I added liquid pearls and glamour dust to the fairy's
wings.
