Spring 'A Little Bird Told Me'

Morning Friends and Crafters, As most of you know, I don't normally post at the weekends. But today I thought I would add a very simple, but effective card that I made for the Clarity One Day Special launch. It's a fairly short post.

You will Need:

Clarity 'A Little Bird' Stencil

Clarity 'Spring' Stamp

Watercolour Card

Indigo Blu Townhouse Teal

Indigo Blu Pantry White

Indigo Blue Banana Custard

Distress Oxide Blueprint Sketch

Distress Oxide Peacock Feathers

Distress Oxide Mowed Lawn.

Brayer

Sheena Stamping Card

Clear Embossing Powder

Heat Gun

Versamark Black Ink

Yellow Alcohol Marker

Step 1: Start by creating your background using the Indigo Blu Acrylics. Apply layers with your Brayer. It gives a great textured effect. When you come to use this for your layer, it really is a good idea to use a basic die in the centre, so you can use it for another project.

Step 2: On the reverse of your stencil, apply the Distress Oxides. Place this face down on your watercolour card and run through to emboss. Next coat this with clear embossing powder and heat. With Versafine Black ink, stamp the 'Spring'. Add an extra splash of spring colour by colouring the spring with the yellow alcohol marker.

Step 3: To finish your card layer onto your background and then mount on to a black card base.

Thank you for joining me today, I hope you have enjoyed this short tutorial along with the finished card. It would be great for you to join me again very soon to see what I am sharing. The next couple of weeks are going to be very exciting. For now Take care and Happy Crafting.xxx
