Strength & Harmony

Morning everyone, Today I am sharing a card I made with the  'A Little Bird' Collection of stamps and stencils from Clarity. For this one I am using just one of the stencils from the set. This is a lovely stencil to use in so many different ways.

You will need:

Clarity 'Little Bird' Stencil

Clarity Word Chains No 12

Versamark Ink Pad

Clear Embossing Crystals

Distress Oxide Blueprint Sketch

Distress Oxide Cracked Pistachio

Distress Oxide Peacock Feathers

Black Card

White Card

Matching Blue Card.

Copier Paper and a Heat Gun

Step 1: Secure your stencil in place over your black card. Add some copier paper to protect the edges as well. Ink through the stencil, use the Blueprint Sketch at the top, then the Cracked Pistachio at the bottom, lastly add the Peacock Feathers in the centre, blending slightly either side for a seamless transition.

Step 2: Add clear embossing powder, then remove the stencil and heat. It gives the most beautiful finish, like glaze on pottery. Trim the design, leaving a quarter inch border. Mount onto white card then onto the matching blue, leave narrow borders.

Step 3: Take your black base card, stamp the Strength and Harmony with Blueprint Sketch and emboss as before.

Step 4: Mount your finished piece onto your base card with Tacky glue and your card is finished.
