Good evening....I do hope that you have had a good weekend...and made the most of the break in the bad weather...Karl and I have been on lots of dog walks ....including a very lovely one through the grounds of Dunham Massey...I do love that place....
I thought I would just grab five minutes with you before we settle down for the evening...and I have decided to share an elegant lady with you.....
This was one of the samples I made for the Claritystamp launch at CHA...using the new Elegant Ladies stencil, Elegant Ladies stamps and the mask from the Ladies Glasses Stamp set...
I have a thing about Sail Boat Blue Adirondack ink...I just use it again and again...( it doesn't go down well in a house of Man.Utd Fans!!!!)
I started by lightly brushing some colour onto a piece of Gelli card...
I added a small amount of Raspberry just to change the colour tone slightly...
Using a make up sponge I added some colour to the edges to add definition....and a piece of copier paper to make the pleats in her skirt ..
Next I stamped the pattern on her dress and gave her a neckline, waist, and shoes....( if only it was that easy In real life...)
The inner of the stencil makes a great mask....and protected her whilst I added the skyline....
Next I added some sky...
I quite liked what I have created but I felt that there was something missing...
So I stamped the flowers in the corners...and what a difference it makes....hope you agree..
All with one ink pad....I am going to do this again but with a different colours and see how they look...
Here is a close up of her dress....and then the skyline...
I did notice that Barbara has dressed one of these lovely ladies on her blog today too....

Just before I go.....the coffee has just arrived for those of you who like to see Eric...here he was this morning..when I was trying to clean the patio.......he is now five months old...
And a close up...sorry ...I couldn't resist...he has to carry something all the time....bless....
I hope you have an enjoyable, relaxing evening....and that next week is kind to you.
Much love and hugs,
Jo. x
