Sunday 6 December 2015

On the 6th day of December ......

We've got blue skies .... yeah!

Happy Sunday .......

Well, the rain seems to have moved on.  It's still a bit windy but hey it's dry!

Just a quick post this morning before I'm off out to a Christmas Market ..... more shopping!!
I'm playing along with this week's Merry Monday Challenge where the theme is ......

Birds!

Here's my entry ......


I love these Clarity birds ...... they're not actually robins, they can be anything you like just colour them differently. A great set of stamps to use all year round!

I went for the festive robin ..... yes I'm STILL making Christmas cards!  Simply stamped the birds onto white card then using the masks that come with the stamps, I covered the birds and added a touch of colour to the background (you can just about see the moon there)


I then used the outside of the masks to cover the background whilst I added colour to each of the birds .... shades of Distress inks applied with a brush ..... simple! 


I sprinkling of Chunky White Embossing Powder here and there gives it a nice snowy feel.


Speaking of Clarity ..... Barbara is back on our TV screens today with more fabulous new stamps, new stencils and brand new Groovi designs.


Don't brave the weather ..... curl up on the sofa and spend the afternoon in the company of Clarity.  
Much warmer!!

Thanks for popping by ..... enjoy the rest of the weekend.

Cheerio until next time
