October Clarity challenge

I would like to enter this card for the October clarity challenge 'stencils'.
I used the 'Stone Wall' stencil for the panel and the background to the sentiment.  First I inked through the stencil with stream ink and then turned the stencil and inked through again.  I used a black pro-marker to edge it to give some definition.
For the butterfly panel I used the 'Butterfly montage' stamp.  I cut out the panel part and inked lightly with stream.  I then stamped it again and cut out just the butterfly, inked it in the same way and layered it with foam pads onto the butterfly panel.
I stamped the sentiment and die cut the shape using a pro-marker to outline it.

Clarity Clocks challenge

This is my entry for the May clarity challenge 'Clocks'.
I have used stamps from several Clarity sets:
Victorian miniatures
NDC sentiment stamp
Trees and their mantles
I also used the Clarity Clocks stencil, espresso and sepia inks.

Flowery cat



My latest knitting project.  The pattern comes from a Sue Stratford book called 'Knitted cats and kittens'.

Fairy Sparkles

This is my entry from the April Clarity challenge.  On black card I used grunge paste through the stencil and then a combination of Stonewash, Stream and Lettuce inks to colour the background.  I stamped 3 of the fairies from the Clarity Wee Folk set and added some of the fairy stars in between 2 of them.  I wrote the message with a white pen and added Glamour Dust to them, the stars and the words.
