Good morning, and how are you today.?
I am still not feeling too well and Mikey kept me up again but never mind, lipstick on and seize the day.
I have walked Tess, need to take Karl to the station, drop some samples off at the publishers and then get my stuff ready for going to Ally Pally tomorrow....packing up the craft bag takes the longest time!!!!
Anyway back to something crafty, now you know the Chinese Lanterns is my favourite Stencil from Clarity.
So we have used ink through it, and glue with gilding flakes. Today we are using the wonderful Perfect Pearls.( and if you are coming to Ally Pally we have a great show offer on...)
Here is the finished card....not easy to photograph though...so please forgive me...
I started with a sheet of the black A5 silk coated ClarityCard, and taped the stencil in place with low tack tape.
Next I used VersaMark in and a small piece of cut'n'dry foam to ink through the stencil.
Take the stencil away and wash it, then start to add the perfect pearls with a paintbrush...oh there are some gorgeous colours.
I find it best if possible to leave the powder for a few moments . Stamp one of the words from the new word chains....I went for Magical.....then add more perfect pearls...
After a few moments , wipe off the excess powder....I do find that a soft handkerchief is best for this....Quilted kitchen roll can be a bit scratchy.....
Be brave...it really will work...
Some matting and layering and some ribbon...
And hey presto, let's have a closer look,
And
I do hope that you like this .
Better get on.....have a good weekend and see you soon
Much love and please be kind to each other.....
Hugs, Jo. X
