A look back....

Hello Bloggers,
I hope you are having a good weekend.  Mine is going well so far - a lovely bright, sunny morning and lunch out with my fellow quiz team members, followed by coffee at Moira's.  She has just acquired a new coffee machine - the one George Clooney recommends, so we were hopeful he might turn up to help us christen it, but sadly not...
Don't forget to tune in to Hochanda on Sunday for Paul's shows at 10.00, 14.00 and 17.00.
With that in mind, I decided to post a card from his last show.  It is a card a did a while ago, using one of my all time favourite Clarity sets... The Journaling Set
I started by doing the background with lots of distress inks, blending plenty of colour on the card, then splattering with water and blotting.
Once dry, I simply stamped lots of the images from the set in black archival, second generation for some and first generation for others.
I also added a couple of words from the word chains
Cut the image into three, then mount each piece on black and add to the base card.
That's pretty much it, thank you for dropping in.  I hope you enjoy the rest of the weekend

    Fab card Janet looks far more complicated and cutting it into a tropics card makes it pop even more x

    Beautiful Artwork Janet. When I do a piece like this it always looks 'contrived' but you have it down to a fine art (forgive the pun). Hugs xxx

    Gorgeous combination of colours Janet. I love how you've used both first and second generation stamping to layer up the texture and interest in the background. As a finished piece it really does "Celebrate Art!"

    Nice one Janet. I love the split image look. It works well with that set. Enjoy what's left of the weekend. Looks miserable outside but mild, thank goodness. Really want the fields to dry out.
