A Spring day.

Hi and we are nearly at the weekend. I do hope that your week is going well. I have spent today getting ready for Saturdays workshop at Crafts4U2do in St. Helens...oh it's going to be good.

I thought I would share this card with you, it is one of the ones that I created for the recent issue of Creative Cardmaking.


I started by using Distress inks, a sponge and a sun mask to create the sun, then a stencil brush and some Adirondack ink to make the sky.
The cow parsley ( this is such a brilliant Clarity stamp) was stamped by using Wink Of Stella Pens.

I added the colour directly from the pen to the stamp.

Then stamped with it, and repeated until I had the number of flowers that I required.


This is such a great way to stamp and with good quality stamps such a Clarity Stamps there is no danger of damaging the stamps...

The sentiment was added, and then some matting and layering. Here is a closer look,

And,

There are five other card designs in the magazine, I would love to know what you think about them ...

I must just thank you all for the continued support and for leaving such lovely comments....they really do mean so much...

Oh and my Postman came today with new stamps and stencils from Clarity.....they look fantastic.....I just need some time to play....you will love them....but sorry my lips are sealed......

Enjoy your evening...

Big hugs....

Jo. X

I love this card, Jo - lovely design and nice spring colours. I didn't know you could use WOS pens straight on to stamps - may well give that a go! Have a lovely Easter xxx
