Hello bloggers and welcome to this months blog, which is all about being clean and simple.
This is not something that comes easy to me, especially the clean part. I always end up covered in whatever medium I am using.
This card came to me when I wasn't even thinking about it. It just popped in, so I got on and did it straight away before I forgot.
Firstly I used various sizes of circle dies and cut out holes in a descending order. Then got to work on the backing card. I drew through the holes with a pencil so that I would have a bit of an idea where I was working. Then used pink and blue distress ink to sweep across the area.
It looked a little too dark so I used a white inkpad and a scruffy brush and went across each area with this. It gave a lovely whitewashed effect.
Next came the stamping, I always knew I wanted to use the boy stamp, but I needed more birds. Luckily Clarity have lots of sets that have different sized birds which are really useful.
Once stamped, it was just a case of placing the holey piece on top and glueing. I went round with the obligatory black marker to finish off.
Eh Voila!
Thanks for reading, hope you feel inspired to give this a go.
Hugs
Amanda
