Resist at Craft Stamper

Good morning lovelies! I hope you are fit and well this morning. We are all good - Penny has a trip today - Forest school.. this basically involves making dens in the local woodland - great stuff - I wish they had done that when I was at school!!!!

I'm off to the last Coffee pot this morning - I'm not on duty today - I'm just going as its the final one - Diana is in charge today - I wonder what we'll make!!

I have my first entry for the resist challenge at Craft stamper magazine this month. Here's what I did:

I used the clarity stencil and versa marked through it then randomly added blue and purple wow powders then heat set. Next I set about adding distress peacock feathers to the design and added some black soot too and finally the white gel pen dots. I then fussy cut the circle.


Then I made the background - I stamped the CB image in versa and added black wow powders then heat set. Then I added a combination of peacock feathers and black soot and highlighted with the white gel pen.

I would like to enter this card into the following challenges:
