Hello crafty friends – here we are reaching the mid-point of my 12 Days of Clarity with the ‘thinking of you panels’ stamps from June’s Craft Club.

I kept it very CAS (clean and simple) for this one – my favourite style! I strated with a square of white card and stamped the leafy strip across the bottom in ‘rustic wilderness’ Distress Oxide. I then added ‘thinking of you’ across the top, again in the green, then stamped the two sides in to form the frame.

I took another one of the strips, the one with the heart in the middle, coloured the heart using a purple dye based marker pen (you can’t do this with alcohol markers) and stamped it in the centre of the leafy strip. I masked off the bottom of the leaves with a bit of low tack tape, then stamped a couple of Clarity’s KISS ‘doodle flowers’. I used my stamping platform for this, first inking the stems in the ‘rustic wilderness’ then colouring the stamp with the purple marker for the flowers.

I shaded the outline and little hearts in the flowers with the marker pen, then attached the card to a 5×5 card blank.

So that’s 2022 nearly over. I’ve just got a quiet evening planned tonight (my son is out partying with friends) – I’ll have to keep an eye on the cats once all the fireworks start going off though! In the meantime I’m going to link this card up with a couple of challenges. I took the colours from the photo at Just Add Ink and the theme from TGIF challenges. See you next year!
