Hello there. It’s been a very solemn day in the UK with the funeral of HM Queen Elizabeth II taking place, and so I wanted a simple card that suited the mood. She was known to love life in the countryside, as well as being a committed Christian, so I went with a couple of the new bijou stamp sets from Clarity that I thought reflected her nature.

I started by emboossing a frame onto a piece of white card using one of Clarity’s plastic embedders. I ran masking tape along the edge of the frame and then stamped the grass from the ‘bijou wildflowers’ set (the masking tape meant I didn’t run the risk of getting the ink on the frame edge).

I added a couple of trees from the ‘bijou grunge trees’ together with the sentiment from the set, which I think says it all.

A black 5×5 card blank finished it perfectly.

Thanks for dropping in. I’m going to share this with Less is More, where their theme is ‘black & white’
