Hi everyone, I'm making the most of a quiet Easter long weekend while hubby and one of my sons are at Bluesfest. My other son and I are minding the animals and relaxing!
I bought some clarity brushes a little while ago and thought I'd have a play with them.
They are so smooth! This was a scrap of textured cardstock that I stencilled on with a few distress inks in greens. It's a Memory Box stencil called Pattern Distressed Tula, though you can only see the centre part of the design.
I'm linking up to the challenge at Outside the Box where the theme is the colour green, and you need to use at least one Memory Box product.
I've also used a Memory Box butterfly stamp, Cocoa Bean butterfly, coloured with inktense pencils.
At Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge, the theme is anything goes.
At Work It Wednesday the theme is inking techniques.
Supplies:
Memory Box pattern distressed tula stencil and cocoa bean butterfly stamp; distress inks; versafine ink & clear ep; inktense pencils; sentiment sticker.
Thanks for visiting,
Cathy x
