Dandelion Clock

Hi I have been pondering for a while over the new Clarity challenge for May. As I don't have any stamps even vaguely related to a clock. So I decided to do my take on this and do a dandelion clock.

Items Used
Gelli plate, gelli card, acrylic paints, dandelion lady stamp, Clarity stencil, Cosmic shimmer texture paste frosty dawn, adirondack ink pad butterscotch, distress ink pads crushed olive & forest moss, the clarity letter box stamp set, 8x8 card blank, gold card and green card.
Method
I made a print using acrylic paints in green and buff titanium
I then stamped two dandelion images one onto the print using butterscotch, forest moss and crushed olive ink, and the other onto a small piece of spare gelli card using the same colours..
I cut the second one out carefully
I then stencilled the leaves with the cosmic shimmer paste onto the print.at the top and the bottom making sure I had room for the words.
Next I stamped the words using forest moss ink pad
finally i attached the second dandelion over the first with sticky pads to give dimension.
All that was needed then was to mat and layer to finish.

Paper moon

Hi
I thought I would enter this card in the cuttlebug mania challenge, stamping. I have used the Kimono collection and chose the paper moon.



I used a clarity stencil for the background card with butterscotch and sailboat blue Adirondack ink pads. Brush the colour through the stencil with clarity brushes. I then embossed this using the Oriental biirdcage again from the Kimono collection. I stamped the image using black archival ink onto stamping card. Coloured the image with Spectrum Noir pencils. I then cut this out with a die along with the circle. I stamped the butterflies from the Kimono set coloured and cut them out. I also stamped the sentiment and butterflies onto the circle. I put a piece of spiders web behind the topper and mounted it all together before matting and layering onto coordinating card stock. I attached the cut out butterflies and added blue gems. Hope you like it.
