GDT for Little Claire

Good morning lovelies! How are you today? I hope you are well! I'm an excited bunny today - I'm taking my mum off to Clarity Cumbria which is run by the lovely Jo Rice. Apparently we're making a custom stamp pad - looking forward to that - I'll let you know how it goes!

Today is my first GDT post for littleclaire. Myself and the lovely mags were lucky enough to win the positions through the last but one challenge. Today marks the start of the new challenge - and its theme this time is masculine. I used one of my lovely new silhouette stamps from Little Claire.


I created the background using distress inks - I used the same ones on the scene that I created around the silhouette image that I stamped in versa and added black wow powders to before heat setting.


I used the wording stamps from some Little Claire club stamp sets to put the wording on the background. I made the border along the bottom using part of the main stamp. These were stamped in black archival.

Thanks for dropping by today and I hope to see you again soon!

Big Hugs
