Clarity Stencil Club

Hello lovelies! How are you today? I hope you are well and happy! Thanks for your comments yesterday on my bag and card - you really are very kind and I appreciate each and everyone! I will try and get pictures of the girls with their costumes on very soon and post them - promise!

Today I want to share with you my make using the first Clarity stencil club stencil. I've also been playing with the gelli plate too - something I will be doing at coffee pot later too!



I started off making a backprint on the gelli plate - I did a titanium white first print then added red and yellow acrylic paint to the gelli plate. Then I added the two leaves on the front to remove the paint from the gelli then took the print. When this was dry I used the stencil and added grunge paste through it. Once dry I added adirondack inks to the grunge paste with the stencil back in place using stencil brushes. 


I added the stamped sentiment from Clarity (Maya Angelou) then matted and layered everything. I think I like this one - not entirely sure - what do you think? It certainly was fun to do!!!

Anyway I would like to enter this into the following challenges including this first one that I just found out about:



Mixed Media Challengethemixedmediacardchallenge: A touch of nature
Clarity Challenge Julyclaritystampchallenge: AG
CVCcountryviewchallenges: Stencil it
MMCSmymumscraftshop: Summer or bright colours

Hope you have a great day! Will try and add some details of our gelli plate session at coffee pot today later in the week!

Thanks for dropping by!

Hugs

  24. So very jealous of your Gelli plate lol! I love that bird stencil and the way you have coloured this is fabulous! Need that bird stencil, it wants to come live with me to be used with my Pans! You are rocking the Gelli Rachel and I love seeing what you create with it. It may have to be a Crimbo present for me this year as I don't think I can pretend about not needing it any longer lol!
