It’s show day at Clarity, with Barbara’s regular first Sunday of the month show over on Clarity Social TV and some wonderful round masks that pair beautifully with the Folkart stamps too.

Hello crafty friends. I’m back with another look at the fab big SHAC people stamps that Clarity released this week – today I’m playing with a couple of the characters from set 1 that I thought looked rather oriental!
