peaceful trees

Hello everyone! I hope your week has started well – mine just keeps getting busier (I’ve got a very long ‘to do’ list…) I thought I’d take another look at ClarityCrafts‘ ‘winter cabin reflection’ stamp set, but put a twist on it with less than traditional colours thanks to Color Hues, although the layout from Freshly Made Sketches is less unexpected.

This one is pretty straightforward. I started with one of Clarity’s small stencil card squares, popped a moon mask onto it and brayered ‘mustard seed’ and ‘peeled paint’ Distress Inks across it. The ‘mustard seed’ pad was jucier than the ‘peeled paint’ – you can see that from the depth of colour. I stamped the row of trees across the centre using the ‘peeled paint’, then added the small single one into the gap.

I then simply added the eagle and little flock of brds from the ‘just woodland & birds’ set, followed by the sentiment from the ‘winter cabin’ set. I ran a black Sharpie around the card edges, embossed a frame onto a 5×5 card blank with a square embedder and attached the topper in the centre.

I’ve been busy today finishing my samples for next Sunday’s Clarity shows, which will be on YouTube from 3-5pm (UK time). Tomorrow, I’m onto my prep work for next week’s Clarity Open Days in Kent, where I and lots of the design team will be demonstrating – tickets are still availabe if you fancy a creative day out (or two!), just click on the link here for Friday 8th or here for Saturday 9th.

  3. This came out beautifully, Deborah! What I really love is that the ink blending almost appears to have a texture to it. You are the queen of scenes that is for sure. Thanks for sharing with us at Color Hues!
