Good morning all and welcome to Friday.
Today is a new challenge over at the Fussy and Fancy Friday Challenge blog and the new theme is ....Outdoors.....
So here is my inspiration, I do hope that you like it...
I started by using the A5 washing line stencil from Clarity.
Attach the stencil to your card using low tack masking tape and then begin to sponge in the colour. I used Slate Adirondack Ink.
Start off gently and then build up some shade and depth.
Then remove the mask.
Add some sky using the cloud mask, a sponge and cloudy blue Adirondack ink.
Now some matting and layering and highlights with a white gel pen.
On a separate piece of card stamp out the blustery day stamp.
Add some colour using Watercolour pencils.
Attack this to the card and add some bakers twine, a bow and some hat pins.
I do think that the blustery day stamp and the washing line stencil go really well together.
If you would like to enter the challenge or even have a look at the other DT inspiration just pop along to the blog here......http://fussyandfancychallenge.blogspot.co.uk

Enjoy your weekend ...
Love and hugs
