I hope you are all keeping well and enjoying the mild autmnal weather. We have just discovered a mouse living in the airing cupboard, probably an escapee from one of the cats, so will have the fun of evicting him later! We do have a humane trap, so it should be relatively easy to put him back outside. I expect he would much rather be in a nice warm cupboard though!
On with the cards, this is another of the samples from the last TV show. All stamps available from Claritystamp Ltd
I had a bit of a plan for this one - I did the stamping first in brown archival. I had intended to use brusho paints to make a sort of 'explosion' of colour round the tree and the man, however I added too much paint and water and it all ended up looking like a right mess!
So I started to mop it up with paper towel and I realised that if I mopped it all in the same direction, it actually looked quite good and quite 'windy' I was well chuffed I can tell you!!
I stamped the words on a piece of the original 'mess' which didn't look too bad, matted and layered -sorted!
I hope you like it!
Thanks very much for stopping by and if you live in the Norfolk//Suffolk area, you may want to pop over to the Claritystampers East pages, I have added the dates for 2015.
Take care!

ReplyDeleteHi Janet, what a great way to turn a card around...I love the effect of the wind...and it works really well with these stamps.....Jo. X
ReplyDeletelooks pretty good. would never have known this is the one that went wrong xx
ReplyDeleteA lovely card! Perfect for a blustery Autumn day and with an uplifting message.That little mouse won't want to be evicted from his warm cupboard. I have spent the last few months rescuing the poor little things from the cat-what a lot of them there seems to be this year!
