Clarity challenge 33 Clean and Simple.

I would like to enter this card into the Clarity Challenge 33.
I used Stream Adirondack to make the outer circle.  I then stamped the nativity scene in Black Archival and lightly brushed over the sky with stream and created the background hills with espresso.  I mounted the whole picture on black card and some white card which I had coloured with stream.  I outlined the main picture with a black fine-liner pen.

Pink flowers

I have used two dies by Sue Wilson - the smallest Provence ones and part of the French collection border as the corner.
The flowers are Spellbinders Layered Poinsettias and Rose Creations.  I cut the flowers from some silver card, pink card and a leftover piece of the background paper.

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.
