Hello crafty friends. We’ve got another new release from Clarity tomorrow with some rather fab Branches, Twigs and Sprigs stamps. They’re not on the Clarity website yet, so this is an early peek at Set 1, but I’ll add the details and link here once available.
With sunny and warmer days having finally arrived in the UK after a very wet and grey start to 2026, I decided to channel that vibe on this card, starting by stamping two of the twigs with ‘watering can’ Archival ink onto a topper cut to fit a 6×6 card blank. I then took a moon mask, placed the outer part over my trees and sponged ‘squeezed lemonade’ and ‘carved pumpkin’ Distress Oxides into it for a lovely warm sun. I then swapped to one of the new 3.3″ Square Landscape Masks to create the ground with ‘mowed lawn’ Distress Oxide, just using part of the mask to keep the image to the right of the topper.
As it’s spring, I filled my trees with one of the leafy stamps in the set using ‘shadow grey’ Archival. It’s also Japan month at Clarity, so I popped one of the Bijou Japanese Symbols stamps onto it before attaching the topper to a 6×6 card blank.
These stamps are just so versatile and you can get a closer look at them at 10am tomorrow (Friday) when Barbara Gray launches them on Clarity Social TV (and I’ve got more samples to share with you over the coming days). I rather like this CAS layout too, thanks to the sketch at Sunday Stamps and the palette from Color Dare.
