Clarity Stamps

If you are a fan of Barbara's clarity stamps like me than doubtless you will be watching her latest demonstrations on Create and Craft this morning.   First Sunday of the month and thousands of us sit glued to her show.

This card has been made using Clarity stamps, a Brayer, Big and Juicy inks, Glossy card,and torn paper.   All Barbara techniques!   A mask for the moon and the ground and then the sky brayered in with B&J Mountain Meadow.   Ground mask reversed and the ground brayered in with B&J Foliage.   Moon mask removed and image stamped also using Foliage inks, the clouds were stamped again using darker areas of the ink pad.    The tree stamped again from the darker area of the Foliage ink and as a second generation stamping, a shadow stamped in as a 4th generation use of the ink and then the trunk shadow enhanced.   The warrior has been stamped onto the 'waste' paper used to take the first coat of ink off the brayer before colouring the sky, and then cut out.   Warrior attached to glossy card slightly off the edge, glossy card then stuck to card front and Barbara's wiggly line frame technique drawn round.

All the stamps can be found at Craft-Room where starting today Julia is having a little sale of Clarity stamps you might just grab a bargain.

Last week I was the Winner at Moving along with the Times, thrilled or what LOL Thank you Lisa and team. This is my entry to the challenge this week, the theme is anything goes.

On the subject of anything goes it is also the current theme at Sparkles Forum Challenges this will be my second entry!

  22. Well done you ! Was an amazing piece and thoroughly deserved. This card has to be my all time favorite piece of yours it's stunning. Everything about it is superb, the stamping the colours the composition everything. As `i am commenting on this listening to some African music such a coincidence.

  23. A beautiful and evocative scene. It shows how combining techniques along with considered use of stamps and their placement truly is an artistic expression, and not only a craft.
